IF you have a computer or another iOS device that can download a newer version of iBooks, download it on that device. Then go to the iPad and find iBooks in the App Store. Tap on it to download it and you should get a message that the newest version will not work for you, but you can download an older version that will work on your older device. The key to this is that you had to have downloaded the newest version on another device in order to access an older version on the iPad 1.
