That's basically the only effective use of DRM though. It does a lousy job of preventing piracy, but it does a great job of restricting consumer's fair use in order to generate additional revenue.

I'm sure publishers would say that DRM restricting TTS is not a problem because disabled people can go out and buy the (more expensive) audio book version.

Corporations have pretty much bought and paid for copyright law in the US, so it's not surprising that this is legal.
