It also is possible that they will do a firmware upgrade for French and other languages as the device is sold in Europe.

In my experience, most DRMed ebooks have all additional "permissions" disabled (although some PDFs allow limited copying and printing). It appears that Adobe ePub does have a read aloud metadata field, see for example Prince of Fire by Daniel Silva at Books on Board. This indicates that Read Aloud isn't available for Adobe PDFs, although Adobe Reader (not Adobe Digital Editions) does have a read aloud option for DRM-free PDFs. So far as I know, no version of ADE has read aloud capability
