There's no reason to believe otherwise. Other book apps are already available for the iPhone/iPod touch.

The NYT was on stage at the iPad unveiling. The WSJ has confirmed they are supporting the iPad. Wired has demo'd their forthcoming iPad app. CondeNast has confirmed 5 other of their mags (GQ, Glamour) will appear with updated apps (not with the "Wired" treatment, but updated iPhone apps).
Then there are all the magazines and news papers that already have iPhone apps. Time, USA Today, Popular Science to name just a couple that are already on my iphone.

Yes, according to Jobs and demonstrated with the Facebook app and a racing game. According to the Apple website:

They showed this working at their unveiling. And not just through a power point presentation. Journalists with their hands on actual ipads -- running iPhone apps "pixel doubled".
And why would this be hard? The iPad runs the iPhone OS. You can sell your FUD to someone else, I'm not buying
