I think this is a wonderful thing for somewhat handicapped people. If you are completely blind you probably can't use it (because you won't be able to navigate menus) but for the partial cases, you can really manage well with TTS capability.

Yes indeed, for example my Mom has macular degeneration which is an eye disease that affects her center vision. So she can "read" really large print from the periphery of her eyes. So everyday printed items such as newspapers and books are nearly impossible to read as the print is too small for someone who has no vision centrally . My Eye Dr tells me that has our baby boomers are aging, this illness is becoming much more prevalent as we live longer. Text to speech is a real answer for this.
Folks like my Mom don't have a computer but something like the Kindle would be ideal and it is fairly easy to learn how to use.
