I would suspect that the Adobe (Acrobat) Reader LE would also have the ability to reflow documents when you change the font size. They have made a major push in recent years with their Acrobat line of products to enable as many Section 508 capabilities as possible. (Section 508 is the US Governmant mandate for products that are usable by people with disabilities.) Among these items are elements for sight imparied (i.e.: ability to make the font size larger and the ability to have the text flow in correct sequence to a text-to-audio application.) It would not be a major step for them to implement a text-to-audio feature. In fact, it would be in keeping with the past iriver product philosophy.

Interesting. I guess what we need is something like rockbox but for e-ink readers:

Text-to-audio is an interesting feature for disabled people. As for text reflowing ability, I think it has something to do with the new PDF files that Adobe are working on. Reflowable PDF would be the best file format for all these readers...
It also seems that PDF is getting more and more a standard format across all these e-ink readers...
