The problem with Amazon is that if their eBooks that do allow TTS cause say MS Reader eBooks versions to no longer be legal to strip the DRM, is Amazon going to give a free K2 to every disabled person who does currently have a need for TTS? I can see that trying to stay legal could cause all kinds of problems for Jeff with the ADA. Basically, unless Bezos makes thing so disabled people don't have to shell out $389 for a K2, then I think he'll eventually be in big trouble. This is a new can of worms being caused by Amazon. And if I was in charge of the ADA, I'd be all over Amazon till the issue gets sorted.
