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。
