I'm sorry if this has been covered before but I find iBooks under
Yosemite very easy and usable. It is certainly a completely different
kettle of fish to the Mavericks version.
The main outstanding problem is that I cannot get the shortcut key for
chapter navigation to work but can nevertheless navigate using the table
of contents. Navigating by page or by 2 pages is simply a matter of
pressing the up or down cursor key depending on what layout you have
set. Command 1 for single page and command 2 for 2 page.
VO A will start reading all the book, control will pause reading and
pressing control again will resume reading.
Just What exactly stinks?
It certainly works better with Alex in terms of responsiveness though.

Hey all,
I've been persuaded to challenge my fears and try Yosemite on my iMac 2011
again, especially for the oh-so-useful SMS proxy feature. Not only is running
it from an external Thunderbolt SSD not a very reasonable measure of
performance, but people here and on AppleVis have said that the responsiveness
of VoiceOver is acceptable, if noticeable. So I'm going to try again. Going
back to Mavericks isn't an option. It pees me off that this iMac is not
supported for next-generation AirDrop or handoff, and Mountain Lion is rock
solid, but Safari is starting to become flaky, exhibiting issues caused by
Apple upgrading it to support the newer version of VoiceOver. So this is my
very last chance to save OS X as I knew it.
But there are two killer areas: Mail and iBooks. Mail is what it is, much as I
dislike it; I'll use Thunderbird on Windows when I'm handling high-traffic
lists, or need the plain text of an email. iBooks really stinks, and I want
rid of it, no matter what.
Has anyone here followed instructions to get rid of iBooks and go back to
iTunes for books/PDF management? There are several guides; all involve getting
rid of the BookStoreAgent process and binary. Has anyone followed such guides
and successfully returned to iTunes? And if you did or didn't, why did you, or
didn't you?
Your input appreciated.
Cheers,
Sabahattin
