@andersonia iBooks is awesome, but I think these guys are missing text to speech in their e-book readers apps. With small screens and users on the go, it just makes sense.
Kindle and a few other devices have it, so why not apps. There are free SDKs out there which these developers can use. For example, this was recently in TC: http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/03/ispeech-launches-free-mobile-sdk-to-bring-speech-recognition-to-ios-android-apps/
Here's a direct link for all of the developers out there:

If you want to see a feature added, just send an email to your favorite e-book app maker and tell them to integrate. As an app developer, I know that developers take their feedback very seriously.
