NO Text-to-Speech
Don't be fooled with the 'accessibility' trap. It does not read the book to you. It will read out loud ONE word at a time if you click on that word. It also, causes chaos on the main menu with repeatedly reading the area you point to then will prevent you from clicking on the area you want to navigate to, it's not very user friendly. I did like the size of this kindle and the cover is nice as well. But non - functional to me due to some sight issues I need it to read the book to me and it won't. So I think i'll go for another platform all together as Amazon has chosen to stop putting text-to-speech because they have the Audible company so they can charge a monthly fee AND upcharge the books. SIGH ! So now all my books on Amazon are useless.
