Depends on the sighted person. What you said holds about as much truth as
"Blind people can only use a VCR if it talks."

Hi Michael and list:
If Neal's wife weren't sighted, she might appreciate the speech access the book port provides to information. That isn't to say the sighted can't appreciate such things because some can and very willingly do. But I suspect they would be a much smaller minority than non-sighted users. Having said that, I am equally aware that there are many blind who don't appreciate the speech book port provides because of one or more characteristics. To each their own.
Cheers, Dave
