Here is some info straight from the horses mouth: --- Purchased Google eBooks are not currently optimized to work with screen readers or text-to-speech applications, but our engineers are working on these features. If a book in Google Books is available in full view (such as titles in the public domain), you can click the "Plain text" link at the top navigation of the Google Books page. This will allow you to see the text version of the content, which can be used with text-to-speech and other types of software. You can filter your search results to only display full view books, making it easier to find content compatible with text-to-speech software and screen readers.
