Open the book you want to read, press the “Menu” button and navigate to the “Settings”. In the “Settings” menu, select “VoiceView” and turn on TTS. Once the function is enabled, you can start and stop narration by pressing and holding the “Play/Pause” button. Hopefully this helps! Have a great day!
Q: Can I read books from iBook's on kindle?

I recently bought a 12th gen Paperwhite to replace (supplement, actually) my 11 year old Paperwhite that had developed some kind of "tear" on the light emitting part of the screen that made reading at night a bit irritating. I spent the extra $20 after I purchased the new PaperWhite to be rid of the cover advertising that Amazon never gets right for me. Not a big fan of interplanetary romance fantasies, but that's just me. In short, it's really wonderful. The screen is bigger, the resolution is greater, and all functions are peppier. Unqualified recommendation for this device. I use the new control to tint the screen a bit beige to match the settings on my iPhone Kindle App. It joins my previous Paperwhite which I still use with the illumination off (thanks to E Ink), and the Kindle apps on my iPhone, iPad, and Windows laptop. I got mine at the nearby BestBuy because of their very reasonable return policy means I don't have to deal with Amazon Customer disservice. But I won't be returning this gem. One thing I'm wondering about, though. I got mine for $160 (pre no-ad upgrade) and I'm wondering if the newly enacted tariffs will affect the price. I know for a fact that tariffs won't affect the price of Kindle books since you buy them from your country’s Kindle Store, but I believe that the Kindle itself is made in Taiwan. For the record, I also read on the Kindle app on my iPhone, iPad, and Windows Laptop, so that might be the way to go if Kindles get too expensive. But if they're still $160, grab them while you can.

Holds countless books, I only have to charge it every couple weeks, and its waterproof?! Seriously, just buy the Kindle Paperwhite and you won't regret it. I always said I preferred the feel of a book but this has changed my mind. Less wrist strain, more privacy when reading in public, and backlit screen eliminating the need for a book lamp at night allow me to read more than ever! Plus you can make your own cover inserts to personalize your Kindle.

I wasn’t sure I was going to like this because I love the experience of reading an actual book but I’m obsessed! It’s so lightweight and perfect for traveling. I can take it with me on a road trip and read multiple books without having to pack physical books in my luggage. It’s so good for reading at night as well if you have a partner that’s sleeping in bed because you can read in the dark. The kindle unlimited subscription really makes a big difference too. 10/10
