I haven't read the link but I want to add something. As far as the iPad goes, my sighted daughter uses VoiceOver with the screen curtain off in iBooks. She has the speed set to the slowest setting, and she listens and reads whatever book she's interested in. (Currently, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.)
She also uses it when she wants to play iFarkle, which is a dice game. This is a almost eight-year-old girl who has been raised with braille and screen readers of one sort or another around from birth. She thinks VoiceOver is cool. She, like me, is mad though because the games like Touch Cats (wher eyou can care for a virtual pet) aren't accessible once you adopt the pet. Yes, I know, it's a silly thing to do, but I've always wanted one of those. :) So there's how my sighted kid uses VoiceOver on the iPad. She doesn't use it on the Mac Mini--she hardly uses that right now--but she likes having the screen reader on the iPad. (Besides, she knows she has to leave it set so I can toggle it on or off any time to check on her!)
