A blog reader pointed out to me that anyone can listen to my books right now with Adobe Reader. I gave it a try. Augghh. Yes, you can. If you have a visual handicap and have no better option, I'm sure it's better than nothing. But it was pretty painful.

For comparison, I tried listening to another book in Microsoft Reader. It was only slightly less painful.

But it forces the question: why is the Kindle's capability any different from these others? And--maybe somebody has mentioned this and I missed it--do the same blocks work, if a book is in secure format (which it will be on a Kindle) and read-aloud is disabled?
