OSX (and iOS) has great text to speech functionality with some quality voices. It is probably not of everybody, but for people who can use a laptop (or iPad) there is a lot of accessibility potential. I use the Ava speaker for reading long articles in the background while I do other things, and the voice is almost as good as a radio host.
I do the same thing! Pity it doesn't work exceptionally well with PDF files. It reads the headers/footers of each page sometimes making it very confusing. I hope it gets fixed at some point.
