However, Kindle doesn't have the ability to use Alexa Read Aloud Accessibility with books that were sent via Send-to-Kindle, so I am selling all of my Kindles except for one.
Kindle has never had Alexa on it.

All 7th generation and later Kindles have VoiceView screen reader (English only). That will work with any book that supports screen reader, including send-to-kindle books (but not PDFs, I think).

Alexa (the app) will read out books and play audiobooks purchased from Amazon that enable text to speech. It's available on Echo and Fire devices and from Google and Apple app stores. Fire also has text to speech (now called Assistive Voice).

Neither Nook or Kobo have a screen reader or text to speech.

If that's what you are looking for I would recommend a PocketBook device.
