That's my point. I may have heard the voice but I haven't heard that product. and reading a book means you will be listening to a voice for extended periods.

There are a number of other voices available which can be optionally installed at no extra cost. Personally, I'm not a fan of any of them but the default voice isn't bad. Of course, one's perception of a synthetic voice is very subjective as a voice that I might not like might be one that you might prefer, and vice versa.

I haven't founjd a sample yet of what it sounds like. The page says that reading is only available with a female voice and in The United States. I don't know if this is current information. It is on the Amazon site. I wouldn't assume that the voice will be something someone who doesn't use synthesized speech would wanht to hear, especially for extended listening such as reading.
