This is exactly what I do with my Kindle Keyboard. Yeah the poor quality computer voice obviously doesn't compare with a good audiobook, but it's a great way to "read" in the car and then continue reading normally when you get home. Most eReaders seem to be dropping this unless you get a tablet device like the Kindle Fire, which I don't want.
