Talkback voice playback speed is too fast when Continuous Reading with Kindle App

Im running Android 5.1.1 on my Samsung Note 4. Prior to this Android update, TalkBack voice speed plays fine. Now it plays twice as fast, but only when reading Kindle Books using Continuous Reading. Voice seems to play at normal speed for everything else. I'm only using TalkBack for reading Kindle books when I'm in my car, my eyesight is fine.

I went into Accessibility > Vision > TalkBack >Settings and didn't find any playback speed options.

I also went into Accessibility > Vision > Text-to-speech Options and there is no speech rate for IVONA which is what I'm currently using. I tried switching to the Google TTS which works when TalkBack starts, but as soon as I start Continuous Reading it switches to IVONA again.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Or can anyone suggest another screen reader I can use to read Kindle books? I know there's Wispersync, but thats only for select books and I dont want to pay a premium for that feature.

Thanks.
