M.G. Siegler touts a powerful iOS accessibility feature:

Basically, whether I’m in Safari or Pocket or Medium reading, I use the iOS ‘Speak Selection’ functionality to read things to me. You can do this almost anywhere within iOS (once you enable the feature in ‘Settings’) by selecting a block of text and hitting ‘Speak.’

This works nicely in the Kindle app as well. I’m embarrassed to admit that, as an Instapaper subscriber, I didn’t know about the reading function.
