For Kindle, iBooks, Kobo, and Nook (Barnes and Noble), the specific app is your only option because the files are locked to the specific app. Therefore, in these cases, you have no choice but to learn and work with the specific quirks of these apps. I know that iBooks and Kindle work with braille displays, but I do not know if the page will automatically scroll, or if you will need to perform a dots 1 3 5 space, or dots 2 4 6 space between pages in order to turn pages. For the sighted, it is necessary to touch the screen on the righthand side with one finger and slide the finger across to the lefthand side in order to turn the page forward. This movement gives the sighted person more of the feeling of reading a book, so is preferred.
If the file is an unlocked PDF, unlocked ePub, text, or other standard file format, there are several options for viewing the file. I do not know which options provide continuous braille reading as I mainly listen. I primarily use braille for reviewing / editing. Interestingly, there is a speed-reading app in the App Store now that flashes one word at a time on the display. Sighted people are reporting reading speeds, with comprehension, of up to 800 words per minute.
