Samples are DRM free so that won't work and it takes too much effort besides.

The easy way to check the format is to get a sample using the "Transfer via Computer" method, select the device that you'll be transferring to, and then you'll get a pop up window telling you what the format is (the format for the sample is the same as the format for the full version), you don't even need to download it, you can just cancel out of it if you want once you find out what the format is.

You obviously meant blind, not deaf, but in this particular case there is an exception. If there are no available versions of an e-book that has TTS enabled, a person that needs that feature to allow the e-book to be usable can legally crack the DRM to enable TTS.
