  This does sound like something you need to purchase, though.

    voice guide is that text to speech feature included with kindle 3 which has 
severely limited function, in my opinion. i'd be curious to see what this 
presentation has to say about it.

    i was really excited for a minute and am now almost completely 
deflated....<sigh>

      Kindle 3 And  Voice Guide Are Up for Discussion, Monday, October 3, 2011

      Newswire:

      At lunch with a friend or relative, you are told enthusiastically about 
yet another new book you can't wait to read. As you smile and say  you can't 
wait to read  it yourself, you wonder how long it will be before you will. 
Kindle is out there but difficult to use.

      Not any more. New innovations seem to happen every day. With the Voice 
Guide now available for purchase and use with the Kindle 3, you can download 
that book and discuss it with the person who told you about   it very soon.

      What is the voice guide? Where can it be purchased? Will it work with 
each addition of Kindle or only the Kindle 3?

      In a world filled with technological advances faster than the speed of 
sound, we seem to spend the majority of our time learning to navigate  new 
devices. If you groan at the thought, think of the possibilities of this one.

      You will be able to download from millions of options available at 
Amazon. Tim Emmons will tell us how. Do you want to download books wirelessly? 
Tim will explain how that is done. How easy is it to set up speech. We will 
hear how to do that during this presentation. How do you register your voice 
guide with your Amazon account? Tim will make it easy. Is your computer filled 
with books from bookshare or other text files? With the voice guide, you will 
be able to read those too. As icing on an already delicious cake, Mr. Emmons 
will tell us where books can be downloaded for free. In a time not so long ago, 
our options and choices were limited. With the new Voice Guide, that is true no 
longer.

      Join us for an exciting presentation that will be beneficial  in  your 
reading   and downloading pleasure for years to come.
