I don't personally use it, but I think it's great that it's an option. My Grandmother and my mother both had vision problems and this would have opened up many options to them. My grandmother was using a device that would OCR and read aloud printed material as well as a free audiobook program provided by the Library of Congress to the visually impaired. I tried to get my mother interested in eReaders and even with large fonts, the 6" screens were too small, so she might have been interested in TTS. I understand that the publishers are concerned about privacy, but it's a real shame that they limit this functionality.
