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. 

Sorry not to have better news,

Esther
