The difference between iTunes and iBooks is greater than that, though. IIRC, when Apple made iTunes available for PCs, the iPod only did music. The iPad, on the other hand, does music, apps,
and e-books. That means Apple doesn't really need people to use iBooks to sell iPads, whereas they really needed people to use iTunes with iPods.
