Oh yes. Several blind people have a Victor Reader or some such device that's a portable book player, basically, made for blind people. Amazon, of course, would never let their Kindle content onto that player, although Audible is okay for some reason. Kindle on Android still uses an instance of the Android speech engine to read books, and still won't continue reading while the screen is off, which is honestly one of the only good uses for spawning another speech engine and not using TalkBack to speak. Oh and Kindle for Mac's speech function is complete broken as of Ventura cause Apple changed a lot about the speech engine. I mean I know there's more on DRM than books, but that's what I've been dealing with for the past like year. Kindle has all the stuff I like though. sigh
