Hello Gordon, Here’s where to find your iBooks: ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.BKAgentService/Data/Documents/iBooks/
Unfortunately, the names are not meaningful and the file type is epub. As far as I know, you can only open them in iBooks, unless you created them yourself, in which case, you can open them with Adobe Digital Editions. However you open your books, you can still try using VO-Shift-c to copy what’s in the VoiceOver Cursor to the clipboard and then paste it into TextEdit. In Adobe Digital Editions, this gives you a page at a time.
