As I said in my initial post I think it must be a difference of the Chinese market.

You sure you are not confusing audio books and Text To Speech?
Also some cheap or free audio books confusingly are produced by TTS rather than recording a human.
The PW3 and later have “Voice View”. You install a download and it's a user interface for blind or partially sighted. This also includes an awkward TTS. The PW3 needs a USB to audio dongle/adaptor and the PW4 and later use Bluetooth. Some ebooks come with free Audible "audio books". Others can have it purchased. That's what the headphone icon refers to, not TTS.
AFIAK standalone TTS is only on early Kindles with a real headphone socket. Not much better than a PC in late 1980s.
