Are Kindle Books Accessible?

Hi, Everyone. I need to get hold of a book ASAP and am looking at my options for reading it. I see from searching for the book on Amazon that a Kindle edition is available. How VO-friendly is this app? Thanks, Dani -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

I use a wireless charging pad almost exclusively with my iPhone 11. I use my cables for my iPhone 7 and my Airpods. I just like the convenience of dropping my phone on the pad. Unfortunately, the charging pad was given to me as a gift, so I'm not sure what brand it is. I know it was purchased

I have a library approaching 3000 Kindle books and read them exclusively on my iPHONE. The Kindle app has been accessible since around 2013. Some Kindle books are too graphical to support VoiceOver but this is relatively rare. Typically, it's because a book is a graphic novel or comic. Look in the
