Problems with Speak Selection/Text-to-Speech for Kindle App

I am trying to use Speak-selection/text-to-speech on my Kindle app and when the reading gets to a turn of a page it skips to the last paragraph of the next page. I have to specifically swipe down on every single page for it to read the whole page. Yet, up until a few days ago (I don't remember changing anything), the TTS feature would read continuously while flipping each page appropriately until I stopped it. It is doing this on any given book on my Kindle apps for both my iPhone 6 and my iPad mini 4. I do most of my reading for school this way as I am a very slow reader and have attention problems. I have already tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. I've also updated the software on both devices. I can resort to VoiceOver for the meantime but it is very difficult to navigate and is not a method that is easily turned on and off in order to switch apps. Please Help!

Kindle just put out an update to the app that says


"We fixed an issue with Speak Screen compatibility - now narration no longer skips paragraphs."


I'm guessing because y'all contacted Kindle and more importantly y'all wrote feedback online, Kindle fixed it. Simply calling tech support tends to have less affect on change.
