Using the Kindle App With a Braille Display

Braille on Apple Products

I've got the latest version of the Kindle app on my iPhone. The only way to read a book seems to be to do a two-finger swipe down for continuous reading by Voiceover speech, and then to double tap anywhere on the screen to stop. What's being read does show up on the braille display, but I'm wondering if an older version of this app allows a person to scroll through the book with a braille display only. I want to be able to scroll manually, not automatically. In the version I have now, if I turn speech off, the book scrolls automatically far too fast.

Thanks!

I have the same frustration. Yes, the menu does contain a picker function that let's me swipe from one location to another. But it's far too sensitive--going from Page 4 to Page 49 and not even allowing me to go back to any point in between.

The Kindle app menu also contains an edit box into which one can theoretically type a desired page number. For a VoiceOver user, though, this is only theoretical; I couldn't find any place on the screen to enter a page number.

The Page Chooser in iBooks is heavenly by comparison.
