If ever.
I've always thought that the point of iBook was just to skim off some money that was undoubtedly out there for the taking.
I mean, a certain percentage of iPad purchasers were bound to want ebooks, and even with ebook apps from Amazon etc., there were undoubtedly some who would buy from an iBook store.
Apple probably ran the numbers, decided that there was a profit to be made without a whole lot of effort, & said, "why not?" Easy money.
My guess is that Apple figures that they can make more money putting any extra effort into other things.
