Hello Donna, Like you, I can read with iBooks on my Mac with no trouble. However, a couple of things worth noting: Having pressed VO-Space on a book title, I often have to turn VoiceOver off and back on again to be able to navigate; The text area is to the right of the Previous Page button and it always goes busy for a short while before I can interact with it and read the book; Quick Nav does not work in iBooks.
I can read by character, word, line, sentence or paragraph, but not by page. Read All works fine.
