I don't want to throw a rock in anybody's pond, but such a feature as computer read text is a part of "Microsoft Reader". Which means it can be used on any laptop... anywhere.
I am pretty sure MS lawyers have gone extently through every law concerning such rights. Writers have no grounds, especially if the have contracted books with MS. It would be interesting to know more about those agreements and if really there are reasons for authors to be concerned.
That said, I hope writers can get more money. It's their creation afterall.
