I checked the description on Ectaco website
http://www.ectaco.com/ECTACO-Partner-EA900-Deluxe/
and see that it has Customizable translating jetBook Reader with FB2, TXT and XML file support and True Voice human pronunciation of all English and Arabic words and phrases so I think it will be possible to listen eBooks.
