The book I bought is called "Plato's Rivalry with Medicine: A Struggle and its Dissolution," by Susan B. Levin. (The publisher is Oxford University Press.) When I open the book on my iPad using the Kindle app, all I hear is: "VoiceOver does not support this content." The Amazon page says text-to-speech is enabled for various Kindle devices. When I show my iPad to a sighted person, the text of the book is there, though I'd not know that. Thanks for all your responses. -- Howard
