@mhbacus Lastly, I’m sorry to hear that that the Kindle’s page turn flash gave you headaches, but glad you got used to it. Maybe closing your eyes or looking away when you turn the page would help even more?
And sorry for the multiple comments, but I simply couldn’t consign my message to 500 characters.

To play devil’s advocate, I understand why publishers are restricting it. Audio books are a source of revenue for both publishers & professional readers, while text-to-speech is not.
But complete restriction still doesn’t seem fair. I would propose if the text-to-speech on a Kindle book is disabled, then the publisher should offer an e-book/audio-book combo discount. Just my two cents.->

Thanks for promoting more Kindle text-to-speech openness. Unlike one of the commenters below, I‘m not dyslexic, but I have a slow processing speed. This means that despite the fact that I have no trouble comprehending written words, it still often takes me at least twice the average amount of time to complete reading and writing tasks. I’ve found, however, that when reading, if I can listen to the text at the same time, it speeds up my pace dramatically, so text-to-speech has been a godsend.->

Hi Catherine Burr
Keep up the good work at getting more publishers allowing text-to-speech on the Kindle
I am Dyslexic and the Kindle test-to-speech has opened a whole new world for
me as I can now read along with the Kindle.
We need more Publishers to realise that there are disabled people out there that want to read there books and the Kindle is the answer.

FYI...
The flashing screen is to combat an inherent flaw of the e-paper display. E-paper is very susceptible to burn-in of ghosting of the screen. Setting all of the pixels to black before between changing pages stops this from happening and clears any ghosting that may have occurred between page flips.
