Ultimately, it is all about choice. This constant push by blindness
organizations, and some blind people themselves, to force us all in to
"either/or" decisions is inherently misguided. Sighted people have a rich
variety of choices, and no one tells them which choice they must make. We
who are blind and vision impaired deserve that same freedom.

That's the great thing about this world, people can have different opinions
and preferences, and still be accommodated.

I listen to synthetic speech for about 10 hours a day between work and
personal home computing.  I read technical books with synthetic speech and
reference material like product manuals and such so that I can easily search
and save.  But I would rather not even read a regular book if I could only
read it via synthetic speech.  Just my personal preference, so I completely
support the NLS, audible.com, and any other organization that produces human
narrated books.
