E-ink Kindle with text to soeech?
Can you recommend a kindle reader that has a text to speech function and an e ink screen that I can read in the sun?

I'm having no luck getting my android kindle app to read to me. Search function in this forum won't work...it keeps closing and won't take input...sorry if this is a redundant question.

None of the new ones do it. I think the last eInk Kindle with TTS is the Kindle Keyboard 3 from 2010.

And DXG the same time, though old stock of DXG was sold by Amazon in 2013 or 2014.

Pocketbook on an Android phone does TTS very well.

There is Voice View on PW3 (with USB Audio) and later Kindles with BT. But it's a pain to use just for TTS compared to KK3, DXG (I've tried all 3) and Pocketbook works best.
It might support Adobe DRM?
But in any case if you buy a book, remove the DRM and make a backup or else you've only borrowed it, despite Amazon web page:

Thanks for these replies! I do use the Pocketbook app for text to speech with epubs that don't have drm. I have a kindle unlimited subscription, and it seems that I can no longer download KU books, remove drm and convert to epub for TTS. Not sure what to do at this point.

I use cool reader for non drmed books. I have the 2019 kindle . It has voiceview. Be warned bluetooth eats your battery. Tip for kindle for android. For side loaded books once you get to 2nd page it's reading. Hold then it will start doing continuous reading.

The 7th Gen Kindles on up have VoiceView. via Bluetooth. You do have to install ViewView.
