iBooks Updated - Now Supports Reading Aloud

Apple released a new version of its reading app yesterday, and it’s one you might want t0 download now. iBooks v1.3 has a number of bug fixes and minor tweaks, but it also has a major new feature. Select children’s books from the iBookstore will now have a read-aloud feature to help them understand the words and learn to read.

This isn’t text to speech, unfortunately. It appears to be a way to embed an audio file and integrate it into specific parts of the text.
