Hi Jim, 
I have an iPhone and feel that Kindle isn't the most accessible, but is doable. I haven't read an entire book with Kindle but had tested it out awhile back. I use an iPhone with a Braille display and you are stuck in the book with no way to navigate unless you tap out of the book to get to the menu. I can't remember exactly where I had to tap, but I recall that tapping seemed to be the only thing that worked and no Braille display commands appeared to work. I find Apple Books and Dolphin EasyReader on the iPhone much easier to use, as they allow you to quickly navigate around the book without having to exit out of it. 
That said, if anyone has any useful Braille display commands with Kindle, I'd really appreciate them... I love to read!
