The PC is just not the ideal device for reading. Many companies are aiming their products at the market for reading devices, where Amazon commands a 60 percent share.
Dedicated e-readers, with their black-and-white screens that mimic paper, will survive an onslaught of versatile color tablets from Apple and others due to the benefits of long battery life and reduced strain on the eyes.
“I think the black-and-white readers still survive in the niche market as reading devices,” said Andy Hargreaves, an analyst at Pacific Crest Securities. “I’m not expecting the Apple device to be as good as the Kindle or Sony Reader for reading.”

iPod touch includes VoiceOver screen reader but only on 32GB and 64GB models
Video: iPod Touch 3G Voice Over Overview (Sep 2009).
iPod touch includes a screen reader and other innovative accessibility features that make it easier to use for those with impaired vision. The speaking rate is adjustable so you can set it to a speed that best suits your listening ability. VoiceOver is built into iPod touch 32GB and 64GB (Fall 2009). There’s nothing extra to purchase or install.
You can access VoiceOver through the menu: Settings -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver. Unfortunately, there is no such feature on the 8GB iPod touch.
