Which is all
exactly the same as if you had made that book as an iOS app instead.
What iBook Author is doing is provide an easier way to create media-heavy books than creating a custom app each time. For 'normal' books there is no need to do either.
It isn't so much whether it is fine or not, but why all the fuss about something that hasn't really changed? Make it as an app, Apple control whether it can be sold or not. Make it as an iBook, Apple control whether it can be sold or not. It just takes less time to do it the second way.
