Now, if you strip off the DRM, the Read Out Loud feature may work depending on the type of PDF. So what Adobe is doing is preventing disabled people from remove the DRM of PDF so they can assess Reading Out Loud. This is wrong and I would love to see this go to court and watch Adobe lose big time.
But, as you are very well aware, Jon, the DMCA exemption says that you are only allowed to remove that DRM if NO eBook version exists for which reading aloud is enabled. As long as the Kindle 2 can read aloud a book, it is not legal to remove that DRM. That's what you yourself have been telling us for I don't know how long, so I'm a little surprised that it's slipped your mind!
