Hello Max, I'm not Jane, but I've started using Adobe Digital Editions Preview. Theoretically, you can interact with the page and read using the usual VO reading commands. However, I find that every time I interact with the page, VO crashes.
As for continuous reading, it isn't currently possible, but you can speed up page turning by creating your own shortcuts for Previous Page and Next Page.
