The Kindle isn't even in the same device class. While the other
devices are displayless devices designed specifically for use by the
blind, the Kindle is an e-ink display ebook reader designed for the
mass market by Amazon and wasn't even remotely accessible until the
second version. It still needs some work to be completely accessible
and thanks to the paranoia of the Author's Guild publishers have been
granted the ability by Amazon to block the text to speech
functionality on titles they don't wish to allow to be read this way.
There are ways around this, but they take some effort to make each
title that has been restricted work.

Chris
