Speaking personally, the site says nothing about how the touch screen
would be accessed inclusively.
There were no voice samples on the site either that I can find.
Still if someone has the device I can give you a way to test from
pronunciation based on a common complaint I hear from those readers who
use say Kindles generally not from an accessibility standpoint.
Load a harry potter book or work of fanfiction, If Ron's last name is
pronounced correctly its an improvement smiles.

Hi! As inspired by the current thread about screen readers etc.:
One reason why those used to speech synthesis dislike tools l such
as Kindles though is because the speech quality is poor and the
pronounciation abilities reprehensible. [but Apple might be better?]
Excuse the off-topic, but has anybody tested the text-to-speech of
https://www.pocketbook-int.com/us/products/pocketbook-touch-hd-3
or other Pocketbook yet? It seems to have many languages and voices
but a quick check on youtube brought up mostly slavic examples: It
seems to read Russian quite well, for example. Another youtube had
an odd English sample text where it was less fluent, but that might
have been due to the strange test sentences used in that video.
Of course people can also use mp3 audiobooks on such devices, but
it would be nice to know whether they also work well for listening
to books for which the user only has a non-audio version around.

PS: I believe Pocketbook uses Linux or Android based firmware. They
are known for NOT locking users to a shop and do well with PDF, too.
