Some Kindle books should remain silent.

The new Amazon Kindle can also read - but not every book, as the group announced now. Background: A U.S. association had declared the function of the reader e-reader infringes the rights of the authors.

 

Amazon wants to be the authors or other copyright holders be exempt, whether its function of reading the e-reader access to their works will or not. Those who object to its Kindle book reads so in future also not available.

In the accompanying press statement said Amazon that there is not a legal go back rowing. "The experimental text-to-speech function is legal: There is no copy, no derivative work created no evidence." Yet it was convinced "that many rights holders are thus feel more comfortable if they are even in the control of the hand."

The head of the Association of Authors Authors Guild, Paul Aiken, had in recent weeks
repeatedly taken the position, Kindle 2, with the reading of books, audiobooks function - and for which were then further royalties payable to the originator. After Amazon Aiken turnaround is not yet convinced. You must wait, "how exactly it is implemented," he said to the
Tech Blog of the L. A. Times.

The Kindle is by no means incidentally, is the only device that consists of written text makes words out. In Apple's Mac OS X, for example, is such a feature already installed. "Text to speech" software, text files aloud, there are different versions and levels of quality, sometimes even as freeware - and even some browsers can access Internet sites on this desire.
