Is this Apple's e-book trojan horse?

An interesting article on an innovative use of iTunes' new LP feature. The ebook in question is what we would regard a graphic novel, I guess, and it's not an audio book (though it appears that music is part of the package).

Will this be the way that Apple delivers ebooks with it's upcoming tablet computer? The most interesting thing about this possibility is that it can potentially create a direct connection between an ebook author and the huge marketing machine behind iTunes (with over 100 million credit card accounts), without the overhead of a publisher or other intermediary. "Indie" musicians are certainly taking advantage of this potential in iTunes, and there's no reason why it couldn't be used by authors.
