I couldn't find anything that did more than the visible screen or the rest of a paragraph. Which is what Talkback is meant to do!

That must be some sort of special Amazon accessibility feature. Normal apps won't do that with Talkback. You need an app with a built in TTS button. Like Pocketbook, though it can't work directly with Amazon/Kindle files.

Voiceview is an accessibility feature, not TTS for sighted people. The older Kindles and some recent BT Kindles in China have real TTS.
Also BT earphones run flat. A 3.5mm jack is better quality and less power.
Most of the books I read are not from Amazon (nor Kobo) so Sync is of zero value. I just upgraded the Wife from an original Kobo Libra to a Sage. She has about 300 books bought from Amazon in nearly 10 years. I copied the contents of the Libra to PC and then to Sage. 1765 Books. I copied the database too, but that gave errors, so I reset. Then to "sync" the almost all PC books I simply used search on new Kobo with part of title, working from oldest to most recent "Reading" on the Libra and opening each to same %.
In the currently being read I simply searched for 4 words at top of the page to set position.
All faster than a WiFi sync, which will on only work on Amazon things with Amazon books and on Kobo things with Kobo books and on Apple things with Apple Books.
Sync is a ploy to spy on your use of bought books. Most people read one book at a time, and on 1 or maybe two devices. A search is faster than a Sync to WiFi on both gadgets. It doesn't work at all on any ecosystem with 3rd party content.
We never have WiFi or BT on on any eink.
