[Trainer-talk] kindle books

[Laine Amoureux]

That is good to know, I haven't had that experience. The  titles that I've
had, without TTS enabled wouldn't work in my IOS app either. When I viewed
the title on my bookshelf, it even said that the book was not VoiceOver
compatible.
Thanks,

Hello,
Actually, TTS being enabled or not has no effect on the IOS Kindle app.  
Voice-over will read the book regardless.
