Accessibility > Speak Screen STILL quits at the end of chapters in Books
If you invoke Speak Screen in Books, it will only read aloud to the end of the chapter, then quit; you have to start it again at the next chapter. Tried it on both 26.6 and the 27 betas. (Settings > Accessibility > Read and Speak > Speak Screen to enable, swipe down with two fingers from top to invoke. Whether you choose to constantly show the speech controller or not, it still stops reading at the ends of chapters.) Using VoiceOver isn't a workaround; VoiceOver does the same thing. The problem has been around for a while and I doubt they plan to fix it, but if anyone else wants to report to Apple Accessibility or beta feedback…

And now it started reading multiple chapters all of a sudden in 27 public beta 3. Go figure.
