iBooks on iOS 5.1.1 on first generation iPad

Suddenly I got the error message iBooks ar not installed on your iPad.

At the same time there are an sync error from iTunes that this version of iBooks can't be installed since it demands a newer version of IOS.

There are no option to upgrade the iPad from 5.1.1 so stuck in a circel of no solution here 😟

Can I downgrade the iBooks version so I can use that very important function again?

iPad, iOS 5.1.1
