Just downloaded iBooks Author and let me tell you how easy it is to create books from the templates they provide. Great piece of software indeed.

Spent no more than ten minutes doing copy/paste and now I have a beautiful digital edition of "War is a Racket" in my iPad. I'll do the same for my whole collection of Sherlock Holmes books I got from the gutenberg project.

Believe me it is that simple.

Btw, this same software can be used to create beautiful magazines, which I believe can be a whole new market on itself, even to compete with newsstand or at least to provide renewable content by subscription.
