Under the hood, it uses KDE’s own rendering engine called KHTML, which is similar to Webkit but sometimes slow when processing Javascript....

With all that said, iBooks for Mac still has a few kinks that need to be properly ironed out. One example is if you have multiple books open and minimized, and you want to switch them by using the icons present in the Mac dock, you’ll need to guess because all the icons show the same title of iBooks i.e. there are no labels present on each book, all of them look alike....
