A little while ago there was a controversy when the Kindle had the feature to read books out loud. I believe this feature has been removed. Does any other eBook reader have this feature? I regularly drive for four hours in a day and would love to be able to turn any book into an audio book.

The feature has not been removed from the Kindle. What's changed is that publishers are allowed to set a bit that disables the feature on a per-book basis, if they choose to. |

Software The following two products claim the ability to read ebooks: 2nd Speech Center ($39.95) See iPhone/iPod Touch: The Ultimate E-book Reader on how to use an iPhone/iPod as a reading device. Hardware See the Intel Reader, reviewed here, although very pricey at $1,500 (!). |

meet my favorite Russian eBook reader :) Cool Reader 2 supports .txt, .doc, .html, .fb2 and .rtf just press Enter to toggle TTS (Read Aloud) on/off or press F2 to export the book to MP3 and listen on your MP3 player or indeed the Kindle (tip: placing the MP3 in the Kindle's Audible folder - instead of the Music folder - will allow fast forward, pause, rewind, etc.) Cool Reader 2 is freeware and portable, no installation required. Note: Cool Reader 3 is available too, it is now open source and cross-platform, but does not support TTS and skinning. |
