I applaud your company for supporting TTS. While most folks here don't seem too interested in TTS this feature will soon become a must have feature as ebook readers become mainstream.

TTS is also great for people reading in a language that is not their mother tongue. It is also nice when you have to leave your reading and drive somewhere. Instead of stopping where you are, you can take your book with you and listen while you drive. (Keeps you from being late in picking up your kids from school.)
It can even help pre-schoolers if the books are developed although supporting AAX (audible) would be likely more useful in this case.
