Kindle for IOS accessibility gestures-quick reference guide
I never realized how difficult it was to listen to a book on your tablet. Kindle wants you to purchase an audio book along with the price of the book itself.
I have some programs that will read certain books to me out loud, just not mobi's because of how they now come to me in a folder.
We attempted to try different IOS devices and got really frustrated-best to just let the tablet do it all.

The book explains some helpful gestures that invoke functions that I never knew existed in the Kindle app on an iOS (Apple) device. Some of these functions are useful, and I am glad I read the book. The book is as clear and as well written as any book on this subject could be: it is excellent. I recommend this short guide to anyone who wants to get the most out of their Kindle app on an iPhone, iPod, or iPad.

None of these features seem to work

As I mentioned above, none of these gestures seem to work. Unless I’m missing something I don’t see why you would do three finger swipe left or right to move to the next or previous page when you can do it with one finger. None of the speaking instructions seem to work at all.

Listening basic voiceover gestures

I was expecting a more advance guide, such as how to properly use highlighting and selecting texts to share quotes on good reads.

I recommend this book to complete beginners to voiceover and Kindle.

Kindle for iOS Accessibility Gestures - Quick Reference Guide — Michael Iams April 26, 2021

Quick read that gives some helpful tips to accessibility gestures for iOS.

I did not find it very helpful, perhaps due to changed system preferences.

However, may be helpful for some.

Two stars.

Good job Amazon!

Thanks to this author for writing this wonderfully useful e-book. As a programmer and author, I know that even a small book like this took hundreds of hours of learning and writing and implementing.

Thanks also to Amazon for doing an incredible job of putting all of the accessibility commands in their beautiful app.

Thanks to Apple for inventing all of these concepts.
