Because it hasn't been removed. IBM have just made it stop working. Run 
the following command:
	CRTDTAARA QUSRSYS/QBMGINFSKR *CHAR 32

then run STRINFSKR. Hmm ... magic.

No. Option 2 is all the help text etc. found in QHLPSYS. If I recall 
correctly the online books would have been copied from a BookManager 
CD. You can load them directly from the CD by setting the QBOOKPATH 
system value to include:
	/QOPT/AS400BKS/SHELVES
	/QOPT/AS400BKS/BOOKS

and shoving a BookManager CD in the optical drive. Given that 440 was 
about the last release with a full set of BookManager books on CD this 
is less useful than it used to be.

You should be fine just deleting the bookshelves and books from the IFS.
