Numbers aside, it is clear Apple wouldn't be doing this if iBooks were any kind of success, right?
Over a year ago? iBooks was released in March 2010, just a year and 4 months ago.

They announced in March 2011 they had 100 million downloads.

They announced in June 2011 they had 130 million downloads.

Not saying those are good numbers (I have no idea what they are really counting, or what to compare it to), but to claim they've stopped "bragging" is incorrect.
