Good morning, Thanks to those who tested and reported back.
The problem in making an eBook reading application accessible to a screen-reader, particularly the content of the book, is that this would necessarily make the book content accessible to copying to another file. I find it frustrating, but can understand not making the book content accessible to VoiceOver. It would, however, be possible for Amazon to use the Apple Speech API to make the application self-voicing.
