You mght be on to something.
I had no problems installing the
VoiceView TTS data fles from
Amazon on my PW2 using the built-in update menu option.
However, the site also states (emphasis mine):

Your Kindle Paperwhite (7th Generation) should be on software version 5.7.4.1 or higher for VoiceView to work.

I.e., unless Amazon releases a 5.7.4.
1 firmware update for PW2 models or someone figures out how to implement the TTS specific changes introduced in the 5.7.4.1 firmware in PW2 and PW1 models, I'm out of luck.
Out of curiosity, I ran dmesg on the Kindle and got the follwing output:
Code:

I don't "speak dmesg," but it looks like the PW2 interprets my usb audio card (C-Media Electronics Inc. [0D8C:0014]) as a USB storage device.
