So text-to-speech is a great idea. I wish I had text-to-speech app for books on my iphone. It is very sad that greedy publishing houses would seek to disable this capability, and I wonder if the books they are so concerned about are even available in audio format. Then also I end up paying for books multiple times, a hardcover for my library, a softcover for traveling, and an audiobook for my car.
