This was the point at which the Kindle line split into the "basic Kindle" (the K4) and the Touch (the K5). The K5 had audio and TTS; the K4 didn't. The Touch was the last Kindle model to have a speaker.
Maybe specific models of that model. My sister has a Kindle Touch and it has no speaker.

But still, the thing is that if you have no need for text-to-speech, it's not a game changer for the OP. That is really the primary advancement that they wouldn't get from an older model. For me though, it was the reason I bought it despite having a collection of ereaders.
