Would be interesting to study kids subjected to the Kindle robot over periods of time, like if they are more likely to become serial killers or something

Plug in the Kindle and pop up the pub!

I tried out the Kindle in my car today, with my Ipod tape car adapter and it was great! I agree that the voice is fairly robotic, but I still enjoyed listening to my book while I drove. We live thirty minutes from town so I got a good hour of listening in. Outside of a few misspoken words and the inflection isn't the greatest, I still find the TTS a nice added feature.
