Thanks. I think the "no other formats" thing might be the problem with my plan. I'm assuming that if I brought the file up in Kindle for PC and used a screen reader (which I don't have, but if I did...) the book would be read fine by the screen reading software.

(I'm not asking because I need text-to-speech. I've got a friend who's blind, and I refuse to buy any e-books from Amazon with the TTS disabled if it's not legal to strip the DRM.)
