Since I don't have an iPad yet, I have not tested this! I am still hoping to win one.

Yes it works. What is interesting (well, to me) is that the book I tested, "Here, There Be Dragons", that I bought from Apple's iBooks store, is specifically noted in Amazon's Kindle format as "Text to Speech-Not Enabled-the Publisher has requested not to Enable Text to Speech for this Title".

I'm wondering if Apple got around this by putting Text-to-Speech under Accessibility (it is actually a completely different interface-not just the text-to-speech, but all gestures as well to control the iPad).
