Replace 'edible' with 'usable' ... as the leather apparently is quite tough, and there's been quite some good work on that front.
However, as TFA points out, there's 1.5 billion cane toads in AU, and even if we exported a whole lotta shoes, handbags, etc ... it's not going to make much of a dent in this frustratingly renewable resource.
Aside -- back to 'are they edible' -- there is some interesting adaptive traits being observed[1] with native animals working out how to kill, and selectively consume components of these things, without dying.
Unfortunately lots of animals are still dying after eating these things.
