I am reporting the following accessibility issues about iBook for MacOS. Not that in the case of some unreachable controls I have enclosed the Accessibility Inspector information which should aid in correcting theses issues. I would point out that the Accessibility Inspector is able to quickly tell a developer if a control is accessible or not.
1. VoiceOver reading of a book does not turn the pages of the books as they are
read.
2. Book cover images do not have title/author information. This could be
corrected by implementing IPTC captions on the images. A work around is to
insure that the Show Titles option is in the view menu is set.
3. The bookstore is listed as a window even when it is not reachable with
VoiceOver
4. The book reading window has a number of unlabelled buttons which are as
follows:
