Hi. Regarding reading a book on your Fire tablet have you used the gesture of swiping downward with two fingers? Like iOS this should cause VoiceView to read continuously from where you currently are in the book.

The issue with Audible books showing up as multipart books is something that I recently encountered and it honestly confused me. I recently purchased a book which was 16 hours in length but my Fire tablet showed it with the title, followed by the words Part 1. This really threw me as I knew that this was not the first part of a book but was a complete recording. I don't fully understand Amazon's logic in why this is being done but it's definitely something I'd like to investigate. If others on this list have a more complete explanation as to why this is happening I'd welcome the information.

Hello I'm using a kindle fire 8 hd. when i open books and download a kindle book and swipe down the voice view is not reading so not sure what i have to change. none of the gestures i read  about are working like accessing the reading toolbar or anything so not sure why that is.

Next question when i bring up audible some of my books are showing as multiple part books while others are not even though the books are not that long. on my pc on the webpage they are not showing ass multiple partsl. how do i get this to only show single file books? Thanks.
