No, they don't... By writing a small iOS app to display their book, they can port that book very quickly to any other operating system, if need be, by just writing an app for the other OS. That is a trivial matter, if you build the iOS app well. You may actually build the apps anyway, to put your book on as many platforms as possible.
If using iBooks, you're done for if Apple decides to be evil (and that's indeed also true if you go with iOS-only when writing apps for smartphones and tablets), because you can't sell your book anywhere else, and so you will have to create it from scratch in another authoring program, which is not trivial to do.
