I know people who use e-readers with their kids who have learning disabilities. the TTS in conjunction with the words on the page helped kids with dyslexia. Not to mention, the TTS on a Kindle made books available to folks on a device that was a good deal less then a computer or tablet. It meant not having to pay more for audible books (e books tend to be less expensive) and for people on a tight budget that would be important.
Just because this feature was not useful to many people on this board does not mean that it was not an important feature. It was valuable to many folks and probably would have been greatly appreciated by many more folk with some small tweaks and the Publishing Houses not being jack asses.
