Whether that is enough to gain them the exemption is a toss-up.
To take this sideways for a moment, eink readers are, yes, primarily used as substitutes for printed books. That includes large print books, yet ereader manufacturers are not yet providing firmware that offers a large-print navigation option throughout (including the on-reader store as well as the reader itself). Maybe this would be a place to start if they are actually interested in providing accessibility to their customers?

In addition, where a device is equipped with TTS capability, I'd suggest that the deliberate hobbling of that ability might not quite be in the spirit of accessibility law.
