Amazon seems to confine publisher restrictions on TTS to TTS feature alone.

So for example when a publisher prohibits TTS for a given book, TTS (on Fire or older Kindles that had TTS) cannot be used with those books. But when a system level Accessibility feature is used to read text (on FireOS, Android, iOS), this is always allowed, regardless of publisher restrictions on TTS.

One of the things I'd like to confirm with the audio adapter is ability to read out books with TTS 'disabled'. I expect it to work. I won't get it until end of next week however.
