The lawsuits were because Amazon just did it, without any author/publisher buy in. They just said "you can convert this ebook using our TTS with the kindle" and the publishers did *not* like that. IMO that is how this should work, any text anywhere should be convertible to auido.
It’s anyway just making it more difficult right, as ebooks can be converted anyway using an external program, many which have way to use gui’s. But i guess it’sas far as they can make use of liability laws
