I use it only when I am on the treadmill. Otherwise, I prefer to read for myself.LADennis said:Does anyone use the text-to-speech option on the K2?

I need to get a K2 just for this reason. That is one thing I hate about reading in bed in the winter - dang cold!!! Same with skipping commercials while watching TV. Someone needs to make a remote that works from under the covers.vg said:I also love the text to speech. On a recent trip I was able to sit by the ocean and admire the waves while my Kindle read to me. I also have used it on chillly nights in bed. I can be under the covers and listen without even having to have my arm out to turn the page.
Any universal remote that uses RF instead of IR will work without line of sight to your TV.KindleMom said:I need to get a K2 just for this reason.

This is why I got my book light.... so I can stay under the covers and still see my Kindle!KindleMom said:I need to get a K2 just for this reason. That is one thing I hate about reading in bed in the winter - dang cold!!!
I use it with earphones when I'm on the treadmill in the gym (almost every day). I'm not a fan of audio books. I'm a visual person and have trouble concentrating on them. But, when coupled with the automatic page turning and being able to see the text along with hearing the words, it is very useful to me on the treadmill. Sometimes the pronunciations by the electronic voice are comical but, as I said, I have the text backup to look at so I can understand it.LADennis said:Does anyone use the text-to-speech option on the K2?
