There is a little utility that is available called no sleep that will add some

Hi, all,
Has anybody tried Amazon cloud Reader on the web for reading books on the
computer? I’ve tried it, but VO seems to pause after each word. Has anyone been
able to optimize the settings so that Cloud Reader works a bit better with VO?
thanks,
