If the downloading, etc., can be handled (if not the end-user, then a helpful friend or relative) and it really does start up where it's stopped, and the controls are easy to use -what a deal!scampbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03932978574927073547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9991223.post-88930335710378286182009-02-09T12:00:00.000-05:002009-02-09T12:00:00.000-05:00Well Booker was spot on -- the buzz was accurate. ...Well Booker was spot on -- the buzz was accurate. A big new feature is "Read-to-Me."<BR/><BR/>From Amazon site..."Now Kindle can read to you. With the new Text-to-Speech feature, Kindle can read every book, blog, magazine, and newspaper out loud to you. You can switch back and forth between reading and listening, and your spot is automatically saved. Pages automatically turn while the content is being read, so you can listen hands-free. You can choose from both male and female voices which can be sped up or slowed down to suit your preference. Anything you can read on Kindle, Kindle can read to you, including books, newspapers, magazines, blogs and even personal documents. In the middle of a great book or article but have to jump in the car? Simply turn on Text-to-Speech and listen on the go."Margaret Murphreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17181459361942665520noreply@blogger.com
