Sometimes it is inconvenient to be actually reading your ebook (when your driving is a good example!). Using Kindle’s Text-to-Speech functionality, you can listen to your ebook while you are busy doing something else, and then switch it off so you can continue reading from where it left off.
1. Press the Text key (to the right of the Space Bar).
2. Go to Text-to-Speech and select turn on.
Text-to-Speech will begin.
If you wish to modify the way it sounds:
1. Press the Text key.
2. Go to Speech Rate and select either slower or faster. You also have two choices for Speaking Voice, female and male.
To stop Text-to-Speech:
1. Press the Text key.
2. Select turn off (or pause if you want to stop it temporarily).
