Hi Jim,
Wow! Guess I got lucky on the first try. After I downloaded the reader, and
TTS files and installed them bought a sci-fi book from Amazon.com.  I do
find the female voice a little too high pitched and hard to understand.  The
Microsoft webpage for the Reader is a little hard to navigate, and the
instructions on telling which books will work the TTS program is confusing.
Guess I'll have to re-read them.until I do.

I'm I being paranoid? after I used the reader a couple of time my IBM
HomePage Reader can't access the mail server! :-)
