@Dopedangel - Wow! Thanks so much for the info on android options! I totally forgot about the android world! Which is sad, since Bookshare even mentions one option, Mobile Speak.
@Kumabjorn - I haven't played with the Kindle Text-to-Speech feature too much, but my understanding is that it's still not fully accessible. One problem is that you need sighted help to turn on the "voice guide" which reads menus and such. Also, I believe there are certain things you just can't do with it (annotating, etc.) And due to authorization (DRM) stuff, the Kindle won't play DAISY books.
@Debi - so glad you know about NLS and talking books - I've been a librarian in one of the network libraries for years! We don't have an Overdrive service, so I'm only guessing about Overdrive passing the cost onto the local library. Definitely ask your local librarian. And while buying an i-anything is an expensive option for reading, that Read2Go app really impressed me with the customization available.
