Hi,
I particularly use book reader, up the moment is the best app I had
found to read ebooks on mac, I'm not able to read pdf books though, I
consider this a OS problem since the same happens with ibooks and any
other app for reading pdf documents.
But it goes perfect with epub and all the other ebook formats, You can
check a review of this app on applevis by licking on the next link,
hth., oh I forgot to mention, this app uses the voice of the system so
if You want to change voice You need to go to system preferences.

Look into DocuScan, a Serotech product, the same folks that made
System Access on Windows. Docuscan is for Windows and Mac.
The link is:

For now, and probably a while to come, there is no easy way of
reading books on the Mac. There may be a way with Learning Ally, but
there is not a way to read NLS books on the Mac. If you have books in
the EPUB format, you can use Emacspeak, with Emacs, with Novel-mode,
to read them, but this is a setup that will frustrate normal users,
and is no real solution in Apple's "it just works" way... or at least
the way they were, years ago. iBooks is aweful with accessibility,
and has not changed even in the beta versions of Mojave.
