Given the announcement about Amazon giving publishers control on whether text to speech will be enabled or not, does that mean that if you get one today that is already in stock that you will be able to get text to speech on everything in the future? In other words are the changes Amazon is making hardware changes or software changes (that will take effect when you update software)? Trying to see if I should rush out and get one since text to speech if valuable for me in the car Also, does anyone know if this works internationally -- e.g. France or only on the Sprint network in the US? If you dont have Sprint, can you use your wired computer to download stuff rather than wireless directly to Kindle? Thanks!
