A quick search of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office did not reveal Colby's trademarks I just did a "Basic Search" of the USPTO using their "TESS" system, and confirmed the above statement. Colby is nowhere to be found in anything based on "IBOOK" ("IBOOKS", etc.)
Colby's suit is not going to get far. In order for a trademark to be defensible, it should be registered. Seems awfully silly of Colby not think of that.

Has Apple expanded their legal department? It seems that everyone but under the sun is suing them.
