Hi Michelle, You can use VoiceOver to read your books in iBooks. Another option is to go to General/Settings/Accessibility and turn on Speak Screen. Then when you open an iBook, you can ask Siri to read the screen. The advantage is that the text can be spoken while the screen is locked. I haven't had much luck with this method recently, however. If you do use this approach, you can use the same area of settings to choose a voice. You have the same options as you do with VoiceOver.
