I didn't. A bookstore you can't even *browse* without a $500 piece of hardware? No chance it's ever going to dominate the market. (Notice how Apple's never released any info about what kind of sales the ibookstore has.)
iTunes took over because anyone could access it through their home computer, not just through their iPhones. And because it works well as a music library--none of the ebook store/device software does that, because they're all caught by the format problems.
