My mother is blind and she is very excited about this feature -- it promises to open a whole new world of accessibility for her. I hope Amazon won't be pressured into compromising the functionality just because the Authors Guild finds technological advances inconvenient.

Yep, the screwed up capitalist economy is at it again - people who didn't read before become readers, and people who assisted them at that by designing innovative technologies get rewarded for their efforts. What crooks! >:(

@celt67 He is, just the person recording it doesn't have a good microphone which is the issue. The on camera mic is picking up the ambient sound from the room.

You have selected Steven Hawkings as the computer's default voice.

The speech synthesis is very impressive, easily on par or perhaps better than that available on the PC market. It is a very nice feature to have it built into a reading device.

Who bought one? Love it? Hate it? How is the TTS working out?

This is supposed to demonstrate the Kindle's TTS, but the sound quality is so bad you barely hear it!

The part that is unique is that it reads anything on the Kindle, including personal or business documents. This would be good if you have to do something else but want to keep "reading" ...
