If you're able to distribute your book without DRM, you might be able to use the free iOS/Android Menestrello apps, which have much better SMIL support than iBooks.
(BTW, the developer, Alberto Pettarin, is an MR member.)

We had some glitches with that series of 24 kids' books (you guys here on MR might remember, that Xmas where I thought I was going to keel over, doing 72 books, all in that series? MOBI, NookKids' w/readalong and iBooksw/readalong? Oy!), in iBooks. But the single-word SMIL seemed to alleviate the replay glitching, that's why I was asking about this.
I think that the sentence-level SMIL support is basically non-existent. I think that they think, "well, yah, embed it if you want, but...you (don't) pays your money, you takes your chances" kind of thing.
Who is it here...Hmmmm...does a lot of SMIL work? It's...crappity. I can't think of who it is, but he...
St. Albert? Is it Albert that does all the SMIL? Anyone remember? If anyone would know, I think it would be him. My SMIL/readalong experiences, thank God, are in distant memory, as most of my clients realized...well. Distant memory, let's just leave it at that.
