They have fixed a problem with Speak Screen support: it no longer reads one page and stops, as it had been for some months (requiring Speech Controller to be set to always display). Now it continues reading the next page (as expected).

Still looking for some reading apps to support installable fonts (iOS 13 feature). Or multiple books open at once (iPadOS).

I think the vertical scroll bar has been there for last few updates, and it was much needed. If they would just support immersion reading in scrolling mode, too.

I’m probably one of 3 people who would like Word Runner added to the iOS app.

BTW, if you like text-to-speech, I recommend using the Alexa app instead of Speak Screen. Alexa is more natural sounding than the Siri voices I’ve tried, and it is fully integrated as an audio app so you can control playback with headset controls or control panel. It also has more gradation of reading speed (increments of .25x), which you can request by voice command. It supports at least English and Spanish. Once you have it going, switch back to the Kindle app and follow along. Of course you can follow along on a second device, such as a Kindle.
