Zooming in macOS iBooks I am reading an .ibooks file which I downloaded from the iBooks Store in the macOS iBooks app. On iOS, to zoom in on the text you can simply double tap or use a pinch gesture. However, it doesn't seem like you can zoom in on an iBook in macOS iBooks with those same gestures on the trackpad. Choosing Window > Zoom only affects the size of the window, and unfortunately not the size of the text.

So, is there any way to zoom in on a book in macOS iBooks?
It's not natively supported in the iBook app to zoom or change text size of .ibooks files

However I found a way to zoom in. It's maybe not the most elegant solution. But it can be very useful. I also suggest you play with the Zoom settings to get the mode that's best for you.


Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click Zoom.
Select “Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom.”

To zoom in use alt + cmd + =
To zoom out use alt + cmd + -
