Apologies but I have come to the discussion today (I've just rejoined the list so have not seen the previous posts on this topic). Do Amazon no longer sell the Kindle with the Text to Speech then? I received mine, as a Christmas present in 2010 and have found the Text to Speech feature great. Are Amazon no longer offering this? I also have the accessible Kindle for PC but it isn't as user-friendly (or portable) as that on the Kindle.
