[gui-talk] Okay, folks, time to celebrate!

[Beth Wright]

Hi, Joel.

Just go to
www.amazon.com/kindle
The information is there, but you have to wade through a lot of text to get 
to it.  The description of the text-to-speech and talking menus is --  
wouldn't you have guessed -- at the very end of the list of features for the 
new Kindle.  Just have patience and you'll get to it.
