Hi after reading some 80 messages in this thread, I thought I would put up some observations I have found so far with the Kindle app and my iPad Mini. First off, I could get continuous read to work only in landscape mode. When in portrait, it would read a page or two and then stop every time. Flicking with 3 finger left or right would always change pages as desired but the continuous read would always stop after a page or so like I said before.
As for flicking between menu items, I could never get that to work so far on my iPad no matter in landscape or portrait; I'm referring to when accessed from inside a book. I always have to use explore by touch to find the reader menu items. Once I pick the Home menu item, then I gain access to the top menu and then I can flick around like normal. Changing brightness seemed to have no effect for me. So try landscape mode if using an iPad and see if continuous reading isn't more reliable; it is for me.
