This may be a question then for Apple Care support. I think there is still a 100 Mb download limit for apps from the app store when you are on cellular, maybe this also applies to iBooks. I guess one could try and find a book that is 90 or 95 Mb and try it, if it works and it doesn't with a book that is 100 or slightly above then you have your answer.

I did not go into cellular data. But since you noted that you can change this in either place and it changes in the other, I don't guess that should matter. It was very interesting, and I was very surprised to get that notification.
