Do you use Codex to perform the conversion to the Epub format or do you use
another tool?

Subject: [vi-kindle] New Issue When Reading Kindle Books on iOS With VoiceOver
Hi.
I am noticing a new issue when reading Kindle books on my iPhone. I sent the
following report to device-accessibility@xxxxxxxxxx but I am reposting it here
as I'm wondering if others on this list are able to reproduce this issue.
Hello. I am noticing a new issue regarding the Kindle app on my iPhone 8,
running iOS 11.4.1 using VoiceOver.
Description
In the past, when performing a continuous read with the two-finger swipe down
gesture the reading flow was always smooth. In other words, VoiceOver did not
pause at the end of each line of text, but only paused at the end of sentences
or paragraphs, making the reading flow sound natural. The only other pause was
when the page needed to be flipped but this was very brief and produced a very
short earcon.
Recently, this behavior has changed. Now, VoiceOver pauses after each line of
text, making the flow of reading sound more unnatural. I have tried changing
the font and adjusting font size and spacing but altering these settings does
not resolve the issue.
Additionally, the earcon when the page flips is a bit different, sounding
like the earcon you hear when opening an app, which makes the pauses between
page flips more noticeable and jarring.
This behavior occurs with all of my books. The one exception is when reading
a magazine in text view, where the app behaves as expected during reading.
Steps to Reproduce
1. With VoiceOver running, open the Kindle app and ensure that a book is
currently open. Ensure that the book contains more than one page.
2. Swipe down with two fingers to cause VoiceOver to read continuously.
3. Allow the reading to continue past the current page so that the page flips.
Expected Results
When reading continuously VoiceOver should only pause during page flips and
at the end of a sentence.
Page flip earcons should be very slight and brief.
Actual Results
During continuous reading pauses occur after each line.
Page flip earcons are longer than in previous versions.
