Well, the TTS is definately an aid for people with dyslexia, even if it is not ideal for people with severe visual impairment. I wonder if a coalition of dyslexic students could get involved in this court case opposing the visually impaired students' suit. I have also found the Kindle to be quite congenial to note taking in class. While the availability of, say, engineering textbooks may be limited, for a humanities student the Kindle (or other suitable ereader) can be a Godsend. I can save on the cost of textbooks (Plato is free online) and save on the cost of back therapy (those textbooks are heavy). I was very happy when my parapsychology Prof. told us to get the ebook version of his textbook (at a substantial discount from the dead tree version).
