A low-end ereader is $50 these days. They all have audio options.

I didn't want my grandfather to have to listen to an electronic voice. Listening to a well performed reading of a book is an experience that can't be matched by text to speech.

Kindle is rather high end and doesn't have any audio options - or am I missing something here? The last kindle that did was the Kindle Keyboard(Kindle 3) but even then it couldn't read all books.

  • I know the Kindle Fire has accessibility support and I hear it's actually quite good. I haven't personally used it though since the Kindle app on an iPhone is quite accessible.
