Echo · 01-03-2010, 02:55 PM

I am a brand new Kindle user since Christmas. I am also legally blind and rely exclusively on the TTS feature. In just this past week, the Kindle has been a life chaning device for me. That said, the TTS "faster" speed is not all that fast for an experienced TTS listener. Somewhere arround 120 wpm I'm guessing. I am used to 300 wpm+.

Is there a way (firmware, hack, or otherwise) to gain more control over TTS speed and/or increase it? Thank you for your assistance.
