Yes, I can confirm sluggishness but it is different from device to another. I have a BrailleSense U2 connected to an iPad 3rd generation and a BrailleEDGE connected to iPad Mini both from Hims and act slow when reading, on the other hand I have a Brailliant32 from HumanWare connected to iPhone 4S and it works very nicely.
Original message:
I had problems reading I books in Braille because it got stuck when I wanted to change pages on a few occasions. I hope this will not happen in the Kindle App. It seemed better when I started to read my book by speech as I didn't have a braille display until I came to work.

Hi Kawal,

Other than the sluggishness that I'm experiencing, the app works extremely well. Navigation is much smoother than in other reading apps.
Take care,

I've just purchased a Kindle book and would like to know if braille works like I books or is it different? I like the menu too.

Hi.

Braille can sometimes be slow also in ibooks.

The kindle app has infact done some great things for us braille readers. The fact that you can go to previous line from the botton without running all the way to the top. Great that kindle goes to the top when you press next page. I sometimes experience that the next page will not show up in braille, I will when have to touch the screen, and when it normally works. About the slugishness of braille, I think apple has a part of the fault on this one, I often have problems with large paragraphs.

Can anyone get the table of content to work with braille?

Cheers Annie.

Hmmm, I'm not having this problem. Which display are you using? I'm using a Focus 40 blue.

Well, at least I know I'm not the only one experiencing this. I do hope your write, at this point, for reading with braille, Kindle would be my least favorite option, just because it's so slow..
Cheers,

It's slow for me, yes. It's faster to read with Samantha, but I am hopeful it will impove over time.

Hi all,

I was just reading in the Kindle app, and it seems like there's about a half second delay between the press of the scroll button and the movement of the display. this makes reading in braille very slow. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

One thing about Amazon which drives me batty, and which they still have not fixed, is having to contact them if you need to change your password, because they just will not put an audio capcha on the site.

I suspect Amazon has a mobile app for the iPhone? Anyone know if it is accessible, or should I not bother looking for it?

No, you will have to go to the Amazon website to find books, but once you make a purchase that title should show up on your iPhone.

Wow  guys, this is cool.
Question, can you actually search for books and stuff?  I couldn't find an
option to do that.

Haha. Hi,

I'm trying it out right now.  I don't think you will be disappointed with
the accessibility.  I'm able to read by line/ word/ character, and
continuous reading with a 2 finger flick down seems to work just fine.
Actually, when you first open the book, it tells you the voiceover gestures
you can use to read.  including highlighting and selecting text, etc.
