PW3
You need two downloads and a generic USB Audio ADC/DAC (€6 to €12) and a Micro USB2Go to USB-A adaptor (€2 to €6).
It's a total pain compared to simple TTS on the Kindle DXG and KK3, because you can't simply use regular interface and start/stop voice like on old Kindles. The entire UI is for blind/partially sighted. Clue in name. It's voice view, not TTS.
Really a cheap android phone works better with similar battery life than a PW3 or any later BT based Kindle with voice view. On Android you can use TTS without enabling Voiceview acccessibility. Pocketbook is better than Kindle App.
But maybe you need Voiceview rather than TTS? The PW3 is poor choice as it has no 3.5mm jack nor BT audio, only extra USB audio adaptor (not the kind for USB-C that has analogue option, but one like can work on a laptop). Battery life also dramatically poorer with voiceview.
I tried this on PW3 out of curiosity using a Micro-USB to USB-A adaptor got to plug a regular hub or keyboard into a phone/tablet and a cheap generic USB-A PC USB audio (which adds stereo in, missing on laptops for years).)
