Jailbreaking an iPad is said to be causing some issues on iBooks. However, the iPhone Dev Team released the Redns0w 0.9.10b4 that fix the iBooks and launched socket related problems.

Just a few days after Corona Dev Team released their own version of iOS 5.0.1 Untether to fix the iBooks issue, the iPhone Dev Team revealed their own version of the fix.

According to the blog post of the iPhone Dev Team, "The b4 version of redsn0w incorporates the 5.0.1 fix for iBooks, and also for sporadic problems with launchctl. Thanks to @xvolks for merging the iBooks (sandbox) fix from @comex's github into the overall corona untether from @pod2g! As usual, you can choose to install the fix either by re-running redsn0w over your existing jailbreak (de-select Cydia if you do that), or by installing the corona package from Cydia (it's the same set of files no matter which way you choose)."
