Hello Everyone,
I love the iOS Kindle App because it works so well with my Focus 40 Blue

I have used various voices on my iPhone to read Kindle books ever since this
was possible. Since getting a braille display I use that mostly but there are
times when I still use speech. Samantha is a particularly good voice for
reading I think.
I tend to choose a voice I feel will best fit the
Well, for me, the inhanced US Tom is best all around. Now the Male Siri US

I've read tons of Kindle books on my iPhone. I'd prefer braille probably but

I would say I'm used to reading with TTS (Eloquence on the computer, and Voice
Dream Reader on the phone.) Since Samantha is the only option the Apple Watch,

Alex voice.
