NO, that's ridiculous, smiles. The DRM only ties your ipbooks purchases to your specific device. You can listen with voiceover's speech, although it mispronounces words and sounds like crap. But you can also read with your bluetooth braille display if you want. It's really too bad you can't buy acapella or loquendo voices that will work with voiceover. They are available on the IPhone platform but Vo won't use them. If it did there would be no reason to look at anything else for reading ebooks unless the ibooks store didn't have some title or other you wanted to read.
