That's easier on an Android App. KOreader does run on Android, though I find Pocketbook hugely better.

I've tried KOReader on Android and Kobo and found the only advantage is being able to over-ride specific (usually poor) CSS. Instead I fix the ebooks. I've removed KOReader from the Kobo.

Calibre would be far better for this as you then can fix spelling and other faults on the go. Though I use Calibre, I've not used its TTS.

TTS on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac or Linux is trivial to setup and use.

Native Kindle Touch probably has TTS, but in the past there was no TTS on KOReader. I don't know if it's been added.

I think any Kindle and KOReader in particular is a poor choice for TTS, especially if you want to fix spellings.

Unofficial KOReader plugins: https://github.com/koreader/contrib

Main KOReader page https://github.com/koreader/koreader

I downloaded the KOReader APK direct from Git to Android.
