If I were a writer I wouldn't want my books read by that creepy voice.

For comparison, I tried listening to another book in Microsoft Reader. It was only slightly less painful.
But it forces the question: why is the Kindle's capability any different from these others? And--maybe somebody has mentioned this and I missed it--do the same blocks work, if a book is in secure format (which it will be on a Kindle) and read-aloud is disabled?
