The Kindles (original and DX) do speak and have a TTS built in but that doesn't
mean they are blind accessible. The speech facility which is not necessarily
universally available to all publications in any case is designed to allow a
sighted user to take their eyes off the unit (whilst driving perhaps) for a
while in order at some point to go back to reading the print.

I think you can actually get them anywhere now, because amazon even sends
them to South Africa as well. I've never seen one, but I don't think they
are accessible because you'd somehow have to be able to go through menues
and things and I don't think there is speech built in.
