Title: Great Disappointment
Product review: I was planning on purchasing the Kindle2 1-March-2009, but on reading the news that morning I found that Amazon had let many of its customers down. It advertised text to speech capability for this product; to me the most attractive feature considering its screen only displays gray-scale (no color). Unfortunately Amazon did not stand-up for its consumers and gave in to publisher's demands by making the text to speech feature optional at the discretion of the publisher. It's as ridiculous calling text to speech a derivative product as saying you can't read a book out loud to someone because it's a copyright violation. This decision lacks foresight, responsibility, and that most important value, trustworthiness. I guess I just have to stick to adobe which is happy to provide text to speech on a plain hand-held computer.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
