电子书阅读器跨平台解决方案探索
Best free iOS ePub reader with continuious speak content
各种免费iOS ePub阅读器对accessibility 的支持参差不齐，很少支持Siri speak content, 即使支持也无法锁屏连续读屏，最好只有Yomu EBook Reader支持锁屏连续读屏，但是每次都得从章节开始读起，不能从中间开始读。
据说Voice Dream Reader不错，不过收费，没试过。
Apple Books支持锁屏连续读屏，但是两页内容之间会停顿数秒种，体验打折。
iOS上最好的锁屏连续读屏目前只找到一个: Kindle app。不过它只支持Mobi格式，而且是没有DRM的书才能锁屏连续读屏。
