I'll go with "e-ink ereaders should not be required to provide subtitles for videos." I'm much less sanguine about "should not be required to provide text-to-speech options for email;" I know several people who use their e-ink readers for gmail. (And providing TTS for email and their browsers would push them in the direction of supplying speech-based navigation menus, which is one of the stumbling blocks keeping them out of public schools.)
Hmm...I'm pretty sure that both the Kindle Keyboard and Fire do offer the ability to read aloud the navigation menus. I believe it's called "Voice Guide"
