I know you can reset phones and other Android devices from your Google Play account, can you do something similar here?

Actually? It didn't, surprisingly.
When I try to activate it, it takes me to the TTS settings, but I can't see it in the list. All I see is the Sally voice that you get from Ivona by default, and the ability to download other voices, which all appear to be Ivona.
I wonder if Acapela would work. I'm a little hesitant to try, as I don't wanna crash my TTS engine where I have no speech.

    Try it.  It should work.

    OK, so, I bit the bullet.

    I actually today bought me a Kindle Fire 8 inch 16GB tablet.

    So far, I'm loving what I'm seeing, and Voiceview seems to work
    exceptionally well, all things considered.

    Here's my question: I have sideloaded the Google Play store on the
    device, which by the way, for anyone wonderring how to do this,
    you don't have to root the device, nor do you have to install any
    kind of a custom rom. The whole process is 1? hundred! percent
    accessible, and is literally as easy as just installing a few A P
    K files, and you're done.

    Anyway, so for those who know about how this works, kind a, I'm
    wonderring: I know I can't install Talkback on this thing, well...
    OK, you can... but it won't work if you try to load it, although
    Shine will work, and of corse, so does the default Voiceview app
    that comes preinstalled. Anyway, I see in the Voiceview settings,
    that I can absolutely indeed get to the Text-To-Speech options.
    So, if! given the fact that I installed the Google play store, I
    go and try installing my purchased copy of Eloquence from the Play
    Store, will that actually work? Would it be compatible where I
    could switch it over? Or, am I stuck to only using Ivona which
    comes with the Kindle?

    Chris.
