cool beans! Glad I helped.

I'm loving my Kindle 3G right now myself. Have optic neuritis driving me nuts right now, and the handy dandy text-to-speech reader is really nice to have. Pronounces some words a little weird, but at least I can "read" when my eye hurts too much to do it myself.

I love my Kindle, and feel so guilty...I used to work in an independent bookstore, and even hated when computers came into the business. But when I go on vacation, it's so nice not to have to pack 3-4 books...

I've never tried to use the text to speech option yet. I'd probably go to sleep and miss half the book..

I usually only use the text-to-speech on something that I've already read and want to re-read, or on something I've downloaded off the internet. I tend to actually read stuff that I've paid for.

Discovered yesterday when I woke up to a seriously flaming case of optic neuritis (it's been building up to a crescendo for the past month) that my Kindle Fire is pretty much useless to me right now unless I want to listen to an audiobook. The Kindle 3G, pretty much any of the Kindles that have the text-to-speech in them, are more useful to me right now than the Kindle Fire is.

heck, my iPad is more useful (it has text to speech for things online, and it'll read the screen for me and other stuff) There arent any accessibility apps to download for the Kindle Fire, there are a few for the iPad if it's something that's not built into the iPad (Braille apps, things like that)

My Kindle Fire might end up going to my dad till my eye heals (it better heal!) I'm keeping my Kindle 2 and Kindle 3. (they both have 3G and do text to speech)
