Hi All:
In iBooks I get the opening line, but cant's seem to scroll the actual content.
It imagine there's a way to scroll, perhaps even move by word and
character. What about continuous reading--which I expect is just some
kind of timed auto scrolling? That would be the best in some situations

Is there a way to copy pieces of text from a purchased book in the iBooks App?
I can understand the principle of not being able to copy the entire book;
however, if you are studying material you are trying to learn, copying small
sections would be most helpful.
Any thoughts out there.

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
I recently installed El Capitan and hadn’t used iBooks yet, but tried it just
now.
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
Yup. Same here. Works lovely in iOS but OS X iBooks is a useless waste of disk
space. Someone said it could be internet issues but that's not the case here
since speed test shows I'm actually getting slightly more throughput than
advertised by the ISP. So I think they've just broken something
Hello All,
I wanted to know if people are having issues with iBooks? When I open a book,

This is a work around for the RNIB Talking Newspaper

seem like a sort of basic suggestion, but the first time I opened iBooks, I had
the same problem. I closed and reopened the app, and now the problem has gone
away. You might give that a try.
Cheers,

I have just tried using iBooks for the first time, so I need to add a couple

Also my printer driver setup requires me to pay for sighted help as
well. As everything else is working as expected so far I might have to
consider whether iBooks is really worth having to dlete all my settings
accounts and so on to set everything up from scratch.
