The Kindle text-to-speech software simply does not infringe on any of the rights of the copyright holder.
The Kindle doesn't simply do text-to-speech translation. Amazon doesn't have the right to sell these books in an open format. Nobody but the copy-holder does. What Amazon has done is, in effect, by way of it's special access to the encryption/decryption technology, made itself the exclusive source for electronic audio translation of the work. Don't you think the copy-holder should have some say about an exclusive arangement such as this?
