Dr Bob, I would like it if you could give us your assessment of the text to speech capability if your Kindle is capable of it?

In fact any example of the text to speech would be great, if you can record it even better Puzzled

Yes it does text to speech of the ebooks, I have not tried it as yet but I have seen a comment elsewhere saying it was a bit S. Hawkins like but that may just be that individuals opinion,still finding my way around it.

Another interesting twist.

Re: What are you reading now?

I am just about to start the audio book of David Lee Stone, "The Ratastrophe Catastrophe" a book from 2002 with mixed reviews (but I think it’s my bag so to speak).

And I am going to revisit the Antipope soon on eBook Smiling
