I wonder why they dropped TTS. Was it to promote audible? Or to get the price down?
I dropped my Voyage three weeks ago and the screen cracked. I was using the Voyage to read and a Fire to listen (TTS). It was such a pain to switch back and forth.
So I've reverted to my old Kindle Touch for a bit. This has some scratches and a few broken pixels. It's grayer than the Voyage, and the booklight in the case is just barely hanging in there. However, it is a real joy to be able to read and TTS on the same unit again. I probably stick with this until the booklight snaps off.
