I had the Kindle Keyboard & still have my KT, which has the same robotic TTS (which I can't stand). Even though it's not perfect, the Ivona TTS in the Fires is a huge improvement over this. Much more natural sounding. I prefer it to the Google Now voice, but I can't speak for Siri since all I've heard of that is from commercials. There are more choices of voices on the new Fires as well. One of the reasons I bought the HD 6 to replace my aging KT was because of the improved TTS among other features in a similar form factor.
