With the voice dream reader app I can read books from bookshare,
unprotected
epub, listen to old time radio shows.
Supported File Formats PDF, EPUB (DRM free), DAISY 3.0 text-based eBooks,
DAISY 2.02 audiobooks, Zipped MP3 files, such as LibriVox, Plain Text, Rich
Text Format (RTF), Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, Apple Pages, Apple
Keynote, HTML.
What's nice about voice dream reader, you can download books from both
bookshare and Project Gutenberg directly to your device..
I bought the optional neospeech voice to make it sound just like a booksense
when reading any text based file. I can switch between Acapela and
neospeech.

Just ordered a fire and been doing well with my kindle keyboard. What is
voice dream reader? I actually like the kindle keyboard male voice for
reading. Is this available?
Thanks.

OK thanks for that clarification.
I did not want it as my default voice anyway as I think it is confusing to
have a book reading TTS and a system TTS which is identical.
Eloquence shows up fine in voice Dream Reader so I guess it can be used
there but apparently not as a system voice.
I suppose you could try installing talkback which would presumably pick it
up but I will not personally go that route. If I want to read Kindle with
Eloquence I will use my old Android phone.

David: I did install Code Factory's Eloquence from the Google Play Store,
but since Kindle Fire uses Voice View and not Voice Assistant (Formerly Talk
Back,) While installation was successful, only the two voices in the Ivona
Voice Engine is shown and other engines are ignored by Voice View.
