And since the Sony doesn't do text-to-speech at all, that is a non-issue for this device. It isn't meant for the legally blind. The legally blind that want text-to-speech won't be getting a Sony and it has nothing to do with the touch screen.
If vision is so bad you can't see the screen, I can't imagine enjoying text-to-speech via a synthesized voice on a regular basis. Why not just get audiobooks instead and stick them on a cheap MP3 player? Why pay for an ereader where most of the cost is due to the screen *that you can't see*?

Marcy is correct about eReaders and not being the solution for the legally blind,
I am slowly (I hope) but surely going blind, At the moment both my Sony PRS-600 and especially my K3 are beautifully fit for purpose, I read on very large fonts and eventually won't be able too,
As Marcy pointed out certain tasks on eReaders don't allow large font and cause difficulties for those with visual impairments, Audio books may be a better choice,
Look at some eReaders in the "Flesh" see if they work for you,
Good Luck,
