I just bought a Kindle 4 after learning that .epub can be converted. into .MOBI. It's great that the Mises Institute provides these books basically for free and my hope is to donate a large amount of money one day.
With that said, does anyone own a Kindle 3 keyboard? I'm thinking about return the Kindle 4 for a Kindle 3 just because it has audio. Does Text-To-Speech work when you download and convert .epub to .MOBI? Or do you have to buy the actual Kindle version from Amazon for Text-to-Speech to work?
Thanks.
It works for any book, even imported ones. Basically it reads the text with a machine voice just like the Microsoft text-to-speech reader, but maybe a bit better.
I've got a keyboard and I love it, so I'd recommend it :)
Have you tried reading PDF files on the Kindle? I hear Kindle2+ has support now, but I've been relunctant thus far.

Yeah I have. Even in landscape mode it's not nearly as fun as the native Mobi format where you can inflate the size of the text to luxury proportions ^_^ It's readable, but not much fun.
Thanks. I'm going to return the Kindle 4 for the Kindle Keyboard.
