I read somewhere that the TTS engine licensed by Amazon began life in some GPS navigation system. So 'Dr.' gets expanded to 'Drive' rather than Doctor, 'Miss.' to Mississippi, etc.

I hope they can improve it, but doing so will probably only drive more publishers to turn it off. I'd probably be willing to pay a little extra $$ for speech enablement, where an audiobook is widely available, provided that went directly to the audiobook rights-holder.
