But is this really an accessible product? There is no brail on the buttons. Does it read the menus to you? I really don't think a blind person could use this device. Also, I thought the blind had access to a large range of books on tape. Certainly not as many print books are out there of course.
Also, there are sevral sources for audibooks like manybooks.net and librovx. I'm just not sure, even for the blind, TTS is going to be an enjoyable way to listed to ebooks.
