text to speak on the kindal
« on: February 18, 2012, 09:56:20 PM »
okay i think i should exsplaine so things first
1. i have sevral servire visual impearments
2. on a bad day the largest font on the kindal can be hard to read
3. i love the DF books but
some of the books from the DF sireas and all of the codex Alera sireas the text to speak softwear is disabled
for me this can make life slitly dificulte
so i was wondering if there was a reason or if anyone had any idea why this was
or am i the only one who actualy is effected by this?
it works for whight knight and dead beat but not for turn coat
also if any one knows witch books it is enabled for that would be good to?

i do not wnat to cours trubal it is just a question and i do not mean to be anoying but i would like to know

thanks :)

Hi CWG: I've just checked and my kindle does read Ghost Story. I don't know if it has something to do qwith the fact that it was bought when it was released (actually, before, as it was preordered). Is your GS new?

I've seen other people have the same problem with other books as well.  I've read that if you try contacting Amazon about it, and can show as per a doctor that you have problems, they can turn it on even if the book normally won't work with it.  Try Amazon, it's not like it will hurt anything. :)

Cenwolfgirl,

I have every copy on Kindle and they all have text to speech enabled in the U.S. Also, I just checked them on the website and they all show to be TTS enabled. Unless you aren't in the states, I'm pretty sure Amazon will help you get it figured out. I've had great experiences with them, costumer service wise.

Nvm, I just read your profile. I don't know what the status is in England. I just checked Amazon.co.uk and only Small Favor is marked as TTS not enabled. You should be able to get the others to work.

You've managed- in our three years together- to kill not only my god, but my father, my brother, and my fiancée. That's kind of like a homicidal hat trick. It's a strange foundation for a relationship.
