MS Windows has features that make it easier for the blind to use their software, but it doesn't read out loud every menu item that a cursor hovers over. No one rejects MS Windows because it doesn't serve the blind well enough. They reject MS Windows becauses it crashes too often, is slow, and prone to getting viruses.
The Kindle DX has TTS which makes it easier for the blind to use, but it is not designed for the blind and won't read out loud every menu item that a cursor hovers over. It seems short-sighted (no pun intended - yeah right) to reject the Kindle for this reason. The crippled (did it again) implementation of PDF, where students can't highlight passages or take notes, is a far more valid reason to reject the Kindle DX.
