I agree with Steve. There is, at present, no way of reading a book using your own speech software.

When you have Kindle for PC you have to use your Windows screen reader to read the menus and controls until the point at which you open the book - but then you have to use the Kindle speech to read the content. I've never heard of anyone succeeding in using a different synthesizer on a kindle book.

The speech quality is slightly better using the kindle hardware but is still poor. Is there any way of using a different speech synthesizer such as eloquence? I did hear on "in touch" recently that it was possible to read the kindle text using Jaws. I've tried without success - has anyone succeeded in doing this? regards David p.s. i bought the kindle version of the book as it was no longer available as a physical book.
