This thread prompted me to experiment with the Windows Narrator text to speech feature. It didn't work in MobiReader, but that might have just been my ignorance of how to use it.

At any rate, I didn't have any trouble getting it turned on, but I had a devil of a time getting it turned back off. The damned thing just kept reading everything on the screen except what I wanted it to read. I unchecked all the check boxes, rebooted multiple times, and it just kept up its inane babbling.

ARRGHHH!

I finally hit on the right combination, and got it to stop, after rebooting yet another time. Whew! I'm glad that's over.

I'm sure the right combination of third party text to speech software and ereader software will do the trick, but I'm not about to invest any more time in it.
