Hi, I doubt that would be the case too. I mean, even if you did get a book on your computer that didn't allow text to speech, what would you read it with? Unless you had the accessible kindle reader for Windows, which would detect the book disallowed text to speech so wouldn't work anyway, and, if your a Mac user, the Kindle app is completely inaccessible with Voiceover to start with. So, what would be the point? haha. I think if anything, Amazon just don't want people getting there hands on the file and attempting to strip away the DRm, and doing what they please with it.
