My grandmother instilled a love of reading in my family. She took time to read every single day and always made time to take us to the library. As she aged her cataracts prevented her from reading. Her final days were spent listening to game shows rather than good literature. A text-to-speech function on the Kindle would have brought her a lot of joy. There are many others who, through an injury, medical treatments (chemotherapy), or a disability, do not have the ability to read. The Kindle 2 would enrich their lives and expand the market for publishing companies and authors. Please reconsider your decision.
