You sure can; it's a terrific reading environment.  A similar app is made by Dolphin: Easy Reader.  It does a lot of the same tasks.

It's $50 per year, but the library is enormous; if you're a student of some sort, it's free.  You can get the books in EPUB format and read them in Voice Dream Reader, or you can even download them in DAISY audio (it'd be synthesized speech, keep in mind) and play them on an NLS reader.  There are many other formats: DAISY text, Microsoft Word, BRF, and a few others.
