Anyway, here is what you could do:

Reset the iPad so that its in its factory state. Install the ibook application. Then turn off the network connection. Put all the distracting things on the screen into one folder. Call the folder "do not open". Then you only have a folder that tells you not to open it and ibooks.

There you go. End of distraction ....
Then you basically turn a perfectly good $500 multifunctional device into a heavy, overpriced eBook reader. If you can't deal with the distractions on the iPad (like me: OOH SHINY! Angry Birds!), then you're probably best off getting an eBook reader that's made for reading (like any of the e-ink ones) either in addition to or instead of the iPad.
