iPhone's Kindle app: text-to-speech app under Accessibility trouble

On my iPhone, using the Kindle app: I use text-to-speech app under Accessibility to read books. The page turns automatically (good), but the spoken narration stops and must be restarted with each page. Is there a way to make to narration continue as each page turns -- i.e., make both page turning and narration flow continuously?

Accessibility Spoken Content Used spoken content to read books on my iPad Air … this is an amazing feature. It used to automatically advance to the next in the book. Unfortunately, now it only reads one page at a time, and I am required to advance every page. I have tried turning off the settings, and turning back on, confirmed that the iPad and iPhone settings are consistent but no luck. The iPad still does not work as it did in the recent past. Interestingly enough my iPhone continues to advance book pages automatically. Any suggestions on what can be done? I miss using this feature, especially when my eyes are tired and I still want to read. Best regards, jdluv

Kindle text to speech with ios 15 I am trying to use the Kindle text to speech with my iPhone 11 using ios 15.5. Upon searching the web for information; everything that pops up explains the process using the older version of ios where the phone has a "home" button. When I try to active the voice over on my iPhone; the voice over starts but I cannot get out of the settings page to go to the Kindle book. When I leave the setting page the voice over turns off. Does anyone know of a work around to use this application on ios 15

"Speak selection" stops speaking midway through on iphone 13 speak screen will read a Word doc just fine and then all of a sudden, at random it'll stop and return to the top of the page and start re reading what it had just read. Really annoying - and its impossible to highlight the remaining unread words and ask it to speak those words so you are forced to listen to the entire paragraphs that you just completed listening to. I consider this UNUSABLE. A previous complaint was put in with the same problem on a MAC and the only response from Apple was - hm, lets see if its just your device - even after others had indicated they also had a problem with it. Apple hasn't solved this - and one person said they were relying on it for visual assistance. Seems we will have to look elsewhere as Apple really isn't interested in providing something that works here.
