You can buy a 11inch Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ for $160 off Amazon. 64GB of onboard storage. And you can even use it as an MP3 player
I believe some of these apps also will read the texts. You also have Speechify, Voice Aloud Reader, and NaturalReader as well as Android's built-in Accessibility Suite. Most people don't use dedicated mp3 players in any case. They play MP3's on smartphones. The only people I know that use dedicated MP3 players are people doing extremely active outdoor sports like running where every ounce of weight matters. About the most I can ever tolerate while running is the weight of a smartphone strapped to my arm. Anything heavier will tend to get thrown off.

It's comfortable to listen to. A smartphone would only be marginally usable as a phone. I find I need the handset of a standard desk set for comfortable conversation.
