There are accessibility details for people who are visually impaired, with many different options. I probably sound like a salesperson or something lol.edit on 24-6-2011 by Lulzaroonie because: (no reason given)

You forgot to add your ebay page for the ipad
I have never had an I-pad, but from memory thought that it had a crappy battery, I was probably thinking of the iphone. So Ipad is the best option that I can think of, unless kindle or other ebook readers actually have better specs.

Additionally, her husband claimed that (I assume with the Kindle) you do not need to have a wireless internet account, it is totally free to view & buy books online. I have serious doubts about that, but I have been surprised before. Any ideas on that theory ? Again, we're in Australia.

Thanks again.

you can install MS Reader for Windows. it has a text-to-speech plugin so you can just listen while enjoying your book. the only drawback that i've experienced so far is that it can only read Microsoft's proprietary file format (.lit) for ebooks and not pdf's.
on android, the only ebook reader that i can find that has text-to-speech is MultiReader. maybe i'm not looking hard enough. but then again, i'm not an android user so i'm not so familiar with their apps.edit on 6.24.11 by toreishi because: (no reason given)
