They made their profit then. How the consumer chooses to experience the book using technology shouldn't be their concern. Here's where their argument falls apart, in my opinion. An audiobook is a performance, which should be protected by copyright, but text-to-speech is NOT a performance. It's just a way to use technology to read a book...which is just like using technology to view a book. I don’t understand why the publisher isn’t satisfied with the fact that they sold the book.

It's just another form of converting text to speech. If I buy a book, I should be able to consume it however I choose. This sounds like someone looking for a way to protect a revenue stream from technology's inevitable advance.
