SYMPTOMS
When you try to open an eBook with Microsoft Reader Text-to-Speech (TTS) Package 1.0 installed, you may receive the following error message:

Text to Speech functionality cannot be used with Owner-Exclusive ebooks...



WORKAROUND
The reseller or retailer can give a particular customer a level 2 or 3 version of the book so that the TTS engine can read the eBook.



MORE INFORMATION
TTS permits you to listen to any sealed or inscribed eBook in your library by using a synthetic speech engine. Note that although the majority of titles that are presently available in Microsoft Reader format work with the TTS feature, most of the &quot;premium content,&quot; or Owner-Exclusive titles, have been published in a format that does not allow TTS.

NOTE: At present, TTS is only enabled for PC desktop or laptop versions.
