I have to admit, I just really like reading along and listening to the Read-To-Me reading the book aloud.

The latest book I am reading uses back quotes in nearly every line - which the Kindle always reads as "backquoteBlah Blah Blah". This text also uses 3 rows of 5 asterisks between scene changes, which the Kindle dutifully reads as "asteriskasteriskasteriskasteriskasteriskasteriska steriskasteriskasteriskasteriskasteriskasteriskast eriskasteriskasterisk"

Now I don't have to tell you that this gets mighty irritating after a while.

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as an "ignore" list to tell it NOT to pronounce certain words?
