I believe Amazon counts the pages regardless of device used. But I know nothing about Speechify.

The majority of my KU books are read in the Kindle app on my iPhone using Speak Screen. Many of the books I borrow are never even downloaded to my Paperwhite.

Given how many people use the Kindle app I can't imagine KU authors aren't being paid for those borrows.

Why would the authors permit their books to be used in a Kindle app if they weren't being paid?

My answer was to Jon, who has since edited his post. He originally said you had to read on a Kindle for the author to be paid.
