I'm obsessed with the Kindle 2. I can't stop googling it lol.
I found this article about how the authors guild is suing Amazon because of the text-to-speech feature on the Kindle 2. Because they sell books plus they sell books on tape so by having a text-to-speech feature available, they are giving away the audio book version for free with the sale of e-books. But that is so not true because nothing can compare to the emotion in the voice of a person reading a book on a tape or cd. It's totally not the same because text-to-speech sounds robotic. There is no emotion. We will see what happens. I mean, what's preventing people from using text-to-speech on their PC to listen to e-books? They aren't suing Microsoft.
