Has anyone installed Ivona TTS on this?
The main reasons I'm getting C67ML:
1. Moon reader (or similar) for page reflow for PDFs
2. connect to Google Drive to download my ebook PDFs (I'm fine with using any 3rd pty app with capability to connect to GD. Doesn't need to be Google Drive app)
3. IVONA in English, French, Spanish to listen to text (or to the text PDF)
And I wanted C67ML for the space 8gb mainly for IVONA TTS and Carta screen. I don't care for rooting it as long as I can side load these. And battery life doesn't matter that much as long as it lasts 2 days (well with IVONA TTS that would be probably reduced to mere hours, I'm aware of that).
Hopefully my decision to pick this one was right. Thanks!

If you are looking for a nice e-library setup I highly recommend Calibre-Calibre COPS(web server for Calibre library)-Koreader(Android, Kobo, Kindle) for your C67.
Koreader can login to Cops server and download from your library. Also Koreader can sync between devices and send the current reading book to another device with Koreader(does not have to be the same platform).
Along with Koreader, EbookDroid works very well on CM67ML which supports Cops server (you can download bookfrom your Calibre Cops library) as well. It has alot of features that makes Pdf reading reasonable on Android like auto crop, auto deskew etc. it also has nice frontpage library view.
On the other hand Koreader offers true reflowing. It can even reflow text based Pdfs. Also Koreader can login to your Calibre lib directly if you do not want to run separate web server. In that case you will use the internal Calibre library server.
Another tool that I can recommend is Syncthing which is a great way to sync between multiple devices from multiple platforms. Check it out. I use it on my Android ereaders (especially for syncing books).
I like my C67ML. The battery is not the best because I generally charge once a day but I belive that if you do not use it as tablet (say you have only Moon reader open all day), it probably will provide 2 day battery life. I use it to read and listen audio books etc. And it is sufficient as an on the go device.
