Hello, The only issue I have with kindle books is that you have to keep the screen on in order to read the books. Other than that kindle books are great. If you find yourself wanting to read a lot, there is a kindle unlimited subscription for $10 a month. I just signed up for it today for six months to try it out.

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 information in the book's entry on the Amazon site. You need to buy Kindle books from the Amazon site local to your country. Also, you'll need to register the Kindle app after installing it on your iPHONE. I have a section about this in the guide I wrote. Enjoy the book.
