Happy to download a TTS product onto an Android app if this works. Between this, the way they ruined ComiXology and the appalling quality of the desktop apps (I've tried both Mac and PC and they both crash near-constantly) I'm actually very ready to move away from Amazon but I've got hundreds of books and notes on there and the ease of accessing books on different devices is so great (as a teacher, I often show books from my Kindle on the screen at school) so I'm apprehensive about moving away.
If TTS is available on the Pocketbook's Kindle app this still sounds the closest although I'll have to look into other Android apps.

Yeah, notes can be exported, but there's no way to put them back in the converted books. Also few brands besides Kindle offer syncing your sideloaded (i.e. not purchased from their store) books between different devices. Kobo doesn't (only books purchased from Kobo are synced this way). Pocketbook apparently does, I've heard.
Myself, I prefer Kobo readers at the moment, as they have the best customization options and the best integration with Calibre. But then I'm a nerd who uses Calibre for library management and sideloads everything, no direct downloads from a store. By your description you're not much of a tinkerer, so our needs are very different.
