When Apple will update the iBook is a good question. I would tend to lean towards a MWNY July release, but keep this in mind. The iBook is aimed at the education market. The education market typically makes their purchase decisions in May before the summer. So, although a release at MWNY would make more sense overall, it would mean the revision would miss the school buying cycle, which could cost them sales. So, I would tend to lean towards a WWDC release, or shortly thereafter.

Apple really has broken with it's former method of announcing products at major events. Now it seems only to save the "big" new items for these events, and revisions and upgrades tend to get released when needed, which is a very good thing.
