Since Kindle books are already tied to a single device there's no meaningful ground to attack a person who removes the DRM to enable TTS.

Of course, in my understanding the exemption is already there so any way I look at it I think a sane judge should throw out a case about this immediately.
You don't have to remove the DRM to enable the TTS.
