    Ibooks not working after Jailbreak?

    After doing the jailbreak for my Ipad 2, ibooks always crashes on me. Is anyone else having this problem? And if so, is there any way to fix it?

    I personally use the Kindle app for all my reading, but I have some childrens books for my 2 year old on Ibooks. Now I feel kind of guilty for messing that up for her

    Have you installed anything else since JB? e.g. are you running ActionMenu?

    If it helps, I too have jail broken and my iBooks are working fine.

    ibooks rendering issue, but not crashing

    I am in the same situation but different problem. The children's books are not completely rendered. Portions of the page is grayed out like a corrupted jpg. I haven't found any fix other than a restore to pre-jailbreak. Nor has a search come up anyone with the same issue.

    I have seen your issue in other forums, however i haven't seen a remedy yet. I'll be sure to post one if I find one.

    Did you jailbreak from a fresh restore (factory default), (no third party apps)? I did not, which I reckon may be my problem. Unfortunately, I can't test mine yet. I use my ipad for work. So I need the camera connection kit issue to be patched before I re-jailbreak.

    I'm having the same issue with iBooks crashing since JB'ing. Oddly it only seems to crash on purchased books and not on the free ones I have.

    I wonder if this might be a DRM issue?

    Have you tried re-downloading your books since JB? I didn't sync mine till after, but have had no probs. See screenie, which is a DRM'd book from the store...

    No I'm not running ActionMenu. The only apps I've installed after JB was Cydelete,backgrounder, and MyFi.

    Yeah the children's books look exactly as you've described. After I try flipping through a few pages ibooks starts to crash and exits out on it's own. I didn't jailbreak from a fresh restore either.

    Make sure you have iBooks EXCLUDED from Backgrounder...
