Dear Listener, This is a recording of the Amazon Kindle’s text to speech function. I am making Kindle read something that I wrote to be sure that no copyright infringement can be claimed, even if I think its a stupid complaint. I mean, get real. Does this sound anything like an audiobook to you? Its not bad for what it is, but its not going to take the place of audiobooks. Just my two cents. Peace, Kindle Junkie PS The hiss in the recording is my fault, not Kindle’s. Sorry.

6″ Display Get one from Amazon.com (amzn.to ) Pros: slim, built-in keyboard for notes and navigation, faster processor speeds up the device, 2GB of internal memory, it’s capable of storing 1500 electronic books, font size is adjustable, improved battery life, displays image files and plays MP3 and AAC audio, compatible with Windows and Mac machines; new Text-to-Speech feature allows you to have text read aloud. Cons: No expansion slot for adding more memory or accessing files, files such as PDFs and Word documents aren’t natively supported and need to be converted at 10 cents a pop by Amazon; no protective carrying case included, battery is sealed into the device and isn’t removable, hardware and content is still too expensive, lacks the support for electronic library loans and free ePub public-domain books available on competing Sony Reader models.

A review of the design, software, and pros and cons of the Amazon Kindle 2. The Kindle 2 is a digital reading device from Amazon and features a display made of electronic paper. A special thanks to SwitchSkater4 for editing. The cut-off appearance of the credits was a glitch in the Sony Vegas software.

Here it is a ingenious way to hide your Kindle away to malicious eyes. Just take a Moleskine, cut the pages with a cutter, put your kindle in the last page pocket, after cutting the bottom edge of the pocket and gluing the black strips up and down the pocket to fit to the kindle depth. Anyone can do better than this, just want to share the idea.
