Yep. Apple screwed themselves with their Agency pricing scheme. By letting publishers set prices and requiring prices to be equal across all stores, they removed any incentive to buy from the iBooks store. There are no (worthwhile) exclusives to iBooks, so nobody has bothered to put in the time to crack the DRM.
That said, it's theoretically possible. Fairplay for books should be similar to Fairplay for music and videos, and the Requiem project has pretty consistently broken music/video Fairplay. If there was enough demand I'm sure they could extend to ebook cracking as well.
