Kindle 2 Text-to-speech Demonstration

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.

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

aaa they are geeks!! chet run run they will boring me!! with her geek words!!!!!!!!!!!!!! run everybody!

YOU are annoying ME with your poor use of English. Plug your ears, everybody!

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.

Good point, but this software isn't even close to replacing true audio-books. I just got a kindle and love it; however, i wouldn't use the text-to-speech unless I was sitting in the pitch dark and couldn't wait to finish a book.

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.

The GREEDY writers and publishers can't be happy enough to have more book sales because of a whole new market of people that are not normally readers but thru text to speech they will buy books ,,,, the greedy publishers and writers have to try and screw people out of more money . How much is enough you crooks .

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! >:(
