No Read Aloud on mobile app?

I have a Kindle Fire HD, which has good text to speech built in. I downloaded the Logos mobile app to it hoping that I could use Read Aloud on it. It helps me get through books faster. Is it not available on the mobile app at all? And if not, is there any chance it could be in the future?

    Welcome to the forums! [:)]

    1. The normal "read aloud" feature isn't available
    2. The normal "read aloud" feature depends upon the OS & hardware "read aloud" capabilities. I'm not sure how easy that might be, especially via the highly fragmented Andoid platform. 
    3. The normal "read aloud" feature depends upon publisher consent. Check out Zondervan titles on your computer for example. 
    4. Logos has begun to branch out to audio books. The LEB NT does have read aloud (at least on the iOS app) via an audio book rendering (not OS computerized speech)

    Commenting on Alabama's post - the LEB NT is also available on Android - swipe up from within the book and you should get a Play Audio option.

    It's not available yet on other resources.
