Hi Simon and Others, The Kindle app, like some other eReader apps that are not accessible, does not expose text to VoiceOver. Although you can navigate within the app, select books, etc. once your are actually in the book, nothing is read. This is also true of the Kindle app for the Mac. If you try to take a screen capture, and send the image to your favorite OCR utility, you'll find there is text being displayed, but VoiceOver just can't see it. As David mentioned, apparently the only accessible version of the Kindle app is the one for the PC. None of the iOS Kindle apps nor the version of the app for your Mac computer are accessible. Also, no programs that support Adobe Digitial Editions DRM appear to be accessible, as far as I know. That's the format that is used with our public library ebooks and the computer downloadable versions of Kobo Books, and is used as the standard (and usually sole) format by many other ebook distributers.
