Amazon Retreats on Kindle’s Text-to-Speech Issue

John Paczkowski:

Rather than argue with the Authors Guild over the text-to-speech feature of its new Kindle 2 e-book reader, Amazon is modifying the device’s software to make it optional. Authors and publishers will now be able to decide if they want the function enabled or not on titles for which they own the rights.

Chickens.
