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。
