CHM and TTS question

That's not a deal killer for me as that format is being replaced by other formats (for ebooks anyway) and I can always write a program to convert my chm's (or find a linux box with chm2mobi on it).

Robertb,
Are there any plans to add CHM support or text to speech to the Mentor Lite? I know they're both unlikely, just thought I'd ask.
Thanks
Dear Jim:

We haven't had anybody bring either question up. That does not mean they are not good questions... it means I have no answers. I can check on both. I do know the Mentor Lite factory has never discussed TTS in their roadmap... but we will see. I will also TRY to check on upcoming models of 6 inch to see about TTS. The Pocket PRO, of course, has TTS already.

I will check on both!! The Mentor Lite and the factory that makes the 6 inch EZ Reader get 20 formats already.
