Very shortsighted attitude.

Yup...I have to admit, I was hugely surprised at the quality of the TTS on the K2. It's far from perfect but it's very well done and will only improve over time. Remember this, there are some folks who are auditory learners so for them to hear the words as they read along will help them retain the content. And sometimes it is just nice to listen to it being read while doing the dishes...of course I also have an Audible account that I enjoy a LOT.
Something else as a study aid, and I am thinking down the line here, but once profs make their notes available to students and they can convert them into docs which can be read by TTS, then as a student if rewriting their notes, they can also listen to the key points from the prof/teacher's notes. And even the student's own notes if we can ever get HWR on ereaders.
