Gary, I tried, just as you, to use IBooks on the mac a while back, as I was told it worked really well. There is a possibility that in Yosemite, it did. I confess that I never tried it prior to El Capitan. I found almost identically the same results as you. I could read a majority of the interface of the app, but the book content itself, regardless the book loaded, wouldn't read hardly at all.
I should add that this isn't the case on I O S. On I O S, it works beautifully. I did report this to Apple, but I never really followed up with them about it, as reading IBooks from the mac isn't really something I'd normally wish to do. I'd prefer to just use my phone, or IPad and do it. That however said, I definitely can confirm that I am able to reproduce your issues.

When I opened iBooks, I went to the book shelf table with my list of books and interacted with it. I didn’t see another window/table with the contents, so I double-click on my book, to open it. A window opened, but VO only dinged when I tried to move around. I had to turn VO off and on in order to read the book. If I interacted with the scroll area, I could only read my book a line at a time, but if I didn’t interact with it, VO would read all the text continuously.

I place focus on the text, and interact with it. but it makes iBooks go busy, or even restart/ lockup some. I’m fully updated on my ox x 10.11. If anyone has any ideas I’d really appreciate it.
