Hi,
In iOS 17 and before, I could easily, and happily read a kindle book, have voiceover read it continuously, and it would play through a bluetooth speaker without me having to go over to the phone every so often and make it start reading again. In iOS 18, the continuous reading broke, and it seems like every 20 or 30 minutes, I have to stop what I'm doing, because voiceover stops reading my book, go over to the phone, and make it start reading again (ugh, so annoying, more annoying than the netflix "are you still there" message IMO). My question is has this been fixed in IOS 26? I really miss long kindle reading stretches.

Maybe give Alexa a try
I know what you are talking about but haven’t used it that way for a long time and don’t know if it’s been fixed.
On a bit of an unrelated note here you tried Alexa reading the Kindle book. This is easy with the Alexa app and it will go as long as you want without interruption. Her voice is quite natural. The only nitpick I have is for iOS only a female voice is available. Some books need a male voice. I really wish they would work on that issue.
Continuous Braille reading on kindle
I never had the problem where it would stop reading, but now, with iOS 26.1 and the iPhone 16, my Braille display stops at the end of the page. I hope there is a fix for this.
