Kindle 2 Text-to-speech Demonstration

I have no idea why those of you who are posting negative comments are so upset. As someone who drives a lot, I am considering buying myself this Kindle 2 for the text-to-speech capability. I'm also considering purchasing one for my teen-aged son who has learning disabilities; he needs to be read to in order for his brain to process while he follows along visually. What's the big deal?

ok i dont even read that much and im considering buying one of these, its pretty sweet, and dont listen to 90% of the people commenting on here, maybe its their time-o-the month...

Hey I have a learning disability too! I have a hard time learning bullshit. Why don't we text-to-speech your bullshit so I can learn!

What would you rather be. A nerd (smart person), or a complete dumbass. The choice is yours.

Studies show that people who graduate college have much lower unemployment rates... which would you rather be. People who graduate from grad school have even lower unemployment rates. Intelligence is about survival in the civilized world. Or you can end up as some gangbanger on the mean streets with a life expectancy of less than 40 feeling insecure because of constant threats to your survival. :)

Oh the anger boiling beneath......I did graduate from college, and I do love my electronic books. Lot's of them.

You're a complete and utter asshole.

An auditory learner might find it eminently useful. Dynamic voice vocalizations are for people with ADD who want everything sugarcoated to prevent what they call a bored state of mind. Boredom is simply a lack of self control and willpower necessary to focus. When you develop that willpower, all boredom dissapears.

LMAO

omg, god forbid should a little boredom prevent you from learning something you dumbass.

Who cares what the voice sounds like, knowledge is knowledge. Unless you want everything everyone says to be sugarcoated with dynamic voices.

Audiobooks always suck. Same shitty robotic voice for every word, every character...Shit.
