If a Smartphone can have 'Siri' talking to me and sounding like a human, I would think that the TTS sounds 'could' be significantly improved. Obviously it would require an e-reader to have a stronger operating system, but I don't see that as a difficulty either. Price would certainly rise, but not everyone would need that feature. (I wonder how many use it regularly on their Smartphones?)
Personally, I have no need for it, but I'm sure there are those who do.
