I also expect that some use will be made of Alexa. Leaving aside e-ink readers, a Fire Tablet with Alexa may prove very attractive so far as accessibility is concerned. And no doubt Amazon could do it at a very attractive price.
I highly doubt that Amazon would add audio, even bluetooth, to Kindles for the education market. Fire tablets make much more sense. They are more durable, cheaper and already support color, audio and video.
