I'm finding that Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 works quite well with PDFs . With VoiceOver, it will read continuously and without cutting off letters as Preview does (and Skim and Softcon, in my experience). ADE allows you to pause/restart, move up and down a page at a time, adjust the reading speed and so on. It doesn't allow you to interact with the text and use the more detailed reading commands -- by word, by sentence etc -- but purely for listening, it's the most accurate reder I've yet discovered.
