psbingner noticed that 1.0-6/7 failed on iPhone 4S 5.0 (the only supported 5.0 build; absinthe’s Corona had worked): fixed. :(“

If I used Asinthe to jailblreak my iPhone 4S. Do I still need to do this?
My I-books was working before I installed Corona 1.0-8. Now it’s not. It crashes when I try to open it.
Mine too
I could not uninstall I-books and when I tried to reinstall it hung up.
The solution was to delete the ibooks app from the /Applications/iBooks.app. That’s where it got moved when applying the ibooksfix2 that I did a while back. After I did that, I was able to reinstall iBooks and all is good now. I used WinSCP to do it.
My iBooks already work, absinthe on 4S. Really needed?
