If you look at the latest Kindle touch which sells at £109 and £169
depending on whether you purchase the 3G version, it appears to state that
it has text to speech.

 

I know no more than that.

The new Kindle touch is said to have TTS.  As the name suggests, it hass a
touch screen but no keyboard, but it may be useable by the visually
impaired.

Hi 

If you want speech you need the 1 called kindle keyboard, which is 3g.  

The wi-fi version does not speak anymore. 

thanks

Good morning folks, my wife who is sighted has decided she would like a
kindle book reader, I know that not all books are able to be read by a TTS
but was wondering what model to buy that would suit both of us?  I
understand there are models which are 3G? wireless? Would probably just
download from the kindle store to our pc and transfer to the reader,
assuming this is possible?? Any suggestion for which model to go for would
be great! Thank you!
