For those of you who use iOS and the Kindle app, here's a way I figured out to get the app to read to you:

1. From your Home screen, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Speech

2. Enable "Speak screen". This will let you activate TTS by swiping two fingers from the top to the bottom of the screen.

3. Make sure you have chosen a voice. The higher quality voices may need to be downloaded.

4. When you are reading your Kindle app, swipe the screen as described above. iOS's native TTS should begin reading, and a pop-up control panel should also appear.

Contrary to the description in the iOS Settings, TTS appears to continue reading your book from wherever you first activated it. I suspect this method would work with other e-reading apps.
