Oddly enough, the only ebook reading software that seems to fit your requirements is the old MS Reader software. It does text to speech and works well on MS operating systems. You can also sync with a smartphone or PDA. There are a couple of big screen PDAs you can use as a reader.
The flaw in this perfect scene is that TTS only works on unencrypted .lit files. The terrible secret is that .lit files are almost trivially easy to decrypt. But of course, that would be wrong.
Be warned. Almost no one supports MS Reader books anymore. MS never made it universally available, and thus it never took off. Shame, that. It's still one of the best designed readers around.
