Annoying VoiceOver Bug in Kindle App

Hi everyone. I love the Kindle app on iOS and use it almost every day, so was rather annoyed and disheartened to encounter a nasty bug in the latest version. As of Kindle V. 6.84, (released on 8/19), VoiceOver seems to be ignoring spacing and punctuation between certain words, so when reading continuously it sounds like all words are running together. It makes for some weird pronunciations and a truly unpleasant reading experience. Has anyone else encountered this and/or reported it to Amazon? Is the word spacing issue also present when reading with a Braille display? Whatever's going on, really hope it gets resolved ASAP.

After writing my previous comment and reading everyone else's comments, I decided to refresh the App Store. Sure enough, there was an update for Kindle. I had a lot of hiccups with the Apple Books app so I deleted it and switched to Kindle. It worked the best for me. Anyway, this latest update has done the trick! Now I can use Braille or VO to read properly again.
