NVDA 2017.1 is due to be released in late February but a beta version exists with a feature which will allow you to read Kindle books using the Kindle app for Windows. As I use my iPhone to read Kindle books, I initially wouldn't have expected that I'd be personally excited about this news. However, since the new capabilities mean that we'll be able to copy text from the book to the clipboard, this means that I should be able to copy and paste books into apps such as Voice Dream Reader, which is my reading app of choice for iOS. For those who'd like to try out the beta version, you can get to it from the following link.
