Pocket and @Voice apps tts. @Voice allows you to jump through text by double tapping and supports more sites and formats (PDF, etc.), but pocket manages your article list so much better so I use pocky 90% of the time. Pockets uses a readermode view, so it's non tts UI is nicer, so if you don't care about tts just use pocket. Firefox reader mode is also nice, Firefox preview is great.

I think Pocket also supports tts. https://help.getpocket.com/article/1081-listening-to-article...

Yes it does, I mostly use pocket for tts, but the ui is worse. If you use android's local you can only skip forward and backwards 15 seconds, and it frequently loses your place if you pause it. @Voice allows you to tap on the text to seek.

I use pocket. It is installed by default in Firefox (my default browser). From there I save the articles I want to read. And then i read them on my Kobo eReader (which syncs pocket saved articles automatically). The perfect combo to save my eyes a few "back-lit screen hours".

Pocket and Kobo as well (with Newsblur for RSS feed aggregation). That said, if there was an ereader that worked with Instapaper instead I'd probably jump across. Frequently enough Pocket screws up an article which Instapaper handles with aplomb.
