But where it could be great is for people who are vision impaired but can still navigate an ereader. When looking at the pocketbook, I noticed it is compatible with "text to speech" from what i understand the ebook needs to be formatted for "text to speech" as well? So I assume people could listen to audiobooks and ebooks.
I just hope Kobo don't only have 1 flagship model (eg the largest screen like the Forma) and it only comes with the audiobook support. I can imagine them costing it at an outrageous amount similar to the ancient Rome 8gb to 32gb model...

I agree about audiobooks. I listen mostly in the car and it's a lot easier to use the audible app in carplay for that. I don't buy audiobooks from Kobo, so it's not really a feature I'm interested in. I simply like having all my books on the device, thus more memory is good for me.
