Read.Amazon.com no longer works

When attempting to read a Kindle book on the Amazon reader website no audio is played. Looking at the screen the pages progress with the symptoms shown above.

Unfortunately, Amazon has changed their online reader and serve only images of the book content, not the actual text, ostensibly for copyright protection. There isn't any workaround I don't think. We have to renege support for the Kindle reader website.

Sigh, only thoughts are real time OCR or perhaps an accessibility API.
