Which is outstanding for people with vision issues. But it is not the same as Plain Old TTS: it radically changes the way one navigates the interface, and a number of reading features become unavailable. I play with VoiceView occasionally but I would use TTS a lot more, just as I do on Fire.
And as the Fire demonstrates, you can have both features side by side.
It would be interesting if they added Bluetooth profile for a keyboard and accessibility hardware (Braille reader etc). Keyboard support in particular would make note taking much more pleasant, and one might do basic navigation (page turns etc.) as well.
