Its drives me crazy that Amazon no longer has TTS on these new ereaders.

My new Alcatel One Touch Evolve 2 is suppose to have the TTS feature tho I have turned it on I still have yet to figure it out. Dosent work with Amazon tho that app was on it from factory nor the Google books app.

wonder if u can help


i have a friend is blind , i use switches were both always looking for hardware and software to help us read a book.

current looking into how my friend can read a book but needs big print.
cant see to use his computer so needs help .
he doesnt like the daise reader as the books he wants are not avaliblie

he needs big print but soon that wont be an option he can us.
as in 21 inch screen on big print isnt enough.

so trying to help, also device has to connect to windows xp. which i know the kindle fire doesnt do from out the box ( he doesnt want to upgrade his computer)

from my limited search i found kindle to be the best

But

he needs the human sounding voice of the kindle fire
but doesnt need the screen of kf

so if any one knows of a e reader that connects like kindle 2 but with the female voice of the kindle fire and has the kindle two buttons he doesnt want an ipad he like a kindle type e reader

can u help he really missing reading.
