The £89 Kindle has less memory than the £109 Kindle and has no qwerty
keyboard.  There is no mention about text to speech.

I would be interested to know how accessible it is as well.

Sounds like a piece of equipment just crying out for an infotech review.

Hi

You might be interested to learn that Amazon have a new kindle out which
they claim is lighter etc. Costing 89 pounds.  Don't know whether there is
text to speech on it so if anybody knows whether this is available on the
new device, or perhaps wishes to investigate, I would be most interested. to
know...

Best wishes Julie.
