They don't mention TTS so am assuming this is yet another inaccessible entry
into the market.

I have it on good authority that this one will not have TTS.   Not
that it surprises me.

While I do believe that it will require a test-drive to determine what
accessibility features and functionality are truly present on the iPad,
there is additional information being released about iBooks and VoiceOver.

 From the article at Engadget:

"In other news, it's been confirmed that iBooks will be able to sync
free (non-DRM'd) ePub titles in from iTunes, which is good news for
people who want to use an existing ePub stash of theirs with Apple's
fancy page-flipping interface. Also on the books front, it was clarified
today that the iPad can indeed use VoiceOver screen-reading for reading
pages of books out loud -- we knew the screen reading tech was on the
iPad, but now it sounds as if it will be more directly integrated into
iBooks."


Take care,
Sean

I wrote an e-mail to Steve Jobs a few days ago asking precisely this
question -- I'd like to believe this clarification was in response to
that.  (Well, I can dream, can't I? ;-)
