Barry, I really like the idea of the Echo, I'm just trying to find use cases for it, so it's good that they continue to add new features.
The text-to-speech is definitely not for every book. I tried once to listen to one of Brian Jacques Redwall books and it was a nightmare with all the accents he gives the animals. When I send text-to-speech to a bluetooth speaker I sometimes look at the text on the tablet for words that can get garbled, names in fantasy books especially can get butchered.
