RE: Kindle book cannot be read using iOS Kindle app
All the books are supposed to be accessible with VoiceOver. Unless this book that Howard got is all pictures, it should be readable, but isn't. And for $51.99 it should do the dishes too, grin.

Re: Kindle book cannot be read using iOS Kindle app
The Kindle app can't read images. I understand there are some magazines that offer images of the pages, but you can read a text alternative instead. Sometimes I guess it can happen with books, where they just take a picture of the page. ' definitely ask for a refund.

Re: Kindle book cannot be read using iOS Kindle app
Have you read any other books successfully on your IPad? I haven't read for a while but you have a few commands you can do. If you slide your finger around the screen, you should get an idea what to do if you haven't read a book using Kindle before. Otherwise someone who reads regularly can help on this one, or I'll get mine out and tell you. Just don't want to tell you incorrectly from memory right now.

Re: Kindle book cannot be read using iOS Kindle app
The book does not need to be text to speech enabled in order to read it on the Kindle app. I have some books where Amazon says TTS is not enabled, and they read fine. I have seen problems with the android Kindle app with some books I bought that turned out to read fine with the iOS app. I have no idea why that is. But this is the first time I've heard of a book that was not readable with the iOS app. Would love to know what the book title is.

Re: Kindle book cannot be read using iOS Kindle app
Well Howard, if I spent that much on a book and couldn't read it, I would certainly go for a refund. I tried to get a sample, but it isn't showing up on my app even though I've gotten samples of other books with no problems. The try a sample link is just after the buy now link.

Re: Kindle book cannot be read using iOS Kindle app
Hello, Howard, I attempted to get a sample of the book, but that is not showing up. Curiouser and curiouser. I'm wondering if there might be a problem with the material in general. Other than that, I'm puzzled.

Re: Kindle book cannot be read using iOS Kindle app
Hi, If I remember right, there is a way to send feedback from within the Kindle app. I would definitely do this so they will check into the problem and hopefully fix it.

Re: Kindle book cannot be read using iOS Kindle app
I got a sample of the book. Using safari on my Mac, I hit return on the book title and on that next page, I think a little after the opportunity to order with one-click, was the sample. It did absolutely the same thing that's already been mentioned here, saying voiceover did not support the content.
