As for the text-to-speech, that could replace (or supplement) the audiobook collection; again, audiobooks are prohibitively expensive. Two or three books-on-CD being replaced with one Sony reader, you've got your money back.

Good point about the large print books, The dome in hardcover is over 1200 pages in regular print I can't imagine what it would be like in large print paper-back.
