People seem to be dismissing TTS as a waste of time. Sure, to those of us who have no accessibility issues that's a fair stance.
Is not the point of TTS to allow people with impaired vision to gain access to a wider body of work than just the few Bestsellers and Public Domain titles that audiobook sellers stock?
Another point worth mentioning is that audiobooks often cost more (double the price!) than the ebook. So TTS allows those who really need it to pay the same price as everyone else for their books.
