Hi all,
I am looking for any podcast for guidance using the Kindle app on IOS for a friend. I recently suggested a friend to use the Kindle app on both his IOS as well as on his Mac & Windows laptop. While he quite liked my idea for the same, he wants to know if there are any podcasts for using this app with VO & more. I was looking for it on the Applevis podcasts page but could not find anything for it. Please point me to a podcast either on Apple vis or outside for the same.
Even I could have created a demo for it all myself but I no longer use an Iphone.
Thank you,

Kindle books cannot be read with voiceover
Hi,
I’m sorry to say, but kindle books cannot be read by voiceover on the mac, but it works great on iOS & Windows.
Kindle for Mac has its own text-to-speech, which means that you cannot select text, which is a huge bummer, because I may have to use kindle for my college textbooks.
There should be a podcast
Hi there! There should be a podcast on how to use it on iOS side of thingsHi there! There should be a podcast on how to use it on iOS side of things. When I first got the Kindle app on my iPad, that podcast was a lifesaver. I’ll see if I can find the link and post it to you. If I can find the link, it will be in this thread. Also, there is a free guide that he can get a think it’s called Kendall Accessibility guide. I can’t remember exactly what it’s called, because it’s been a few years since I got the Kindle app. I got it in 2016 for my iPad. But I do know that there is a book for the Kindle that he can get. It covers the iOS side of things. As for the Mac, I don’t have one, so I can’t comment on that front. But also, the book is free. So it doesn’t cost you anything..
I just checked
I just checked, and I am sorry to say that, apparently, the podcast for the Kindle app is no longer on here. Or if it is, I can’t find it. Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but Taylor used to be a podcast on the Kindle app on here? As far as it concerns the iOS side of things? Didn’t they used to be a podcast on here for the Kindle app for iOS?
Link for the book
Using the kindle app
I found using the kindle app very awkward when using VoiceOver. It just would not work anyway I wanted to. As I was using the VoiceOver voice to read a kindle book. So then I moved onto the Amazon Alexa app. Dad read any kindle book like an audiobook and I have since read over 30 books using this feature. I have just 100% walked away from the kindle app as I found it very awkward to use and move to the Amazon Alexa app which uses the kindle books like audiobooks and you can change voices also
What about bookmarking?
No link, but I do have the title
Here’s the title for the book. I’m sorry I can’t get a link for you. But you can type this into the search field on the Kindle app. Or maybe copy and paste it.
