I think the problems with iBooks is overblown. You can label most of the unlabelled buttons by using shift VO H to hear the help tag and then copy last phrase spoken to clipboard VO Shift C and then VO / for edit button label and command V and enter. You should not have to do this but it took me only about 5 minutes to label most of the buttons. The first couple do not have help tags but most of the rest do.
I found that books opened easily in list views. 1. Command l to bring up library. 2. Interact with and highlight the book you want to open from the library table. 3. Press command O to open the book. 4. Navigate to scroll area and interact. 5. Finally navigate to html area and interact and you can easily read the book here.
