"Kiran Kaja is blind and uses a screen reader. He says: "The VoiceOver screen reader on iPhone 3GS and iPad provides very good accessibility both to built-in and to third-party applications. But being able to buy a book from the iBooks and read it instantly is a feature that I never expected would be available to blind people"."

I thought companies had been blocked from making books be 'readable' by a computer voice?
Again, as if Apple invented it all... I believe the Kindle had that feature for a long time already but, yes, you're right, had to turn it off in books because publishers were afraid of losing sales as nobody would buy audiobooks anymore if they had TTS available...
