Hello Nektarios, As Anne mentioned, you can avoid the VoiceOver crashes by just navigating to the next page instead of interacting (Fn+Down Arrow to page down on my MacBook Pro), which will also get you past the cover graphic. You do have to read by page, but you can just press the right arrow key to do this for successive pages, and you can make the font size small if you want more content on a single page. Adobe Digital Editions Preview supports searching in the text and setting bookmarks. It will work for reading DRM-free eBooks, or books that have the Adobe ADE version of DRM, which includes books you can buy from Kobo Books and OverDrive ePub books that can be borrowed by download through public libraries in the U.S., Canada, Australia, the U.K. and some other countries.
An alternate suggestion for reading ePub books without DRM, if you don't want to use the Copy Last Spoken Phrase to Clipboard (VO-Shift-C) and paste into TextEdit, is to use iText Express. The Express version of iText is free, and available from the Mac's App Store. HTH.
