If the question is portability, the answer is... don't master in iBA.
But, alas, I have. The PDF exports with the layout in tact, which is nice, but I'm not really sure what to do with it from there...
Depending on how much layout and fancy features you have used, another viable option might be to remaster in Pages and export as ePub. You won't get any interactive features that way. (You can embed video, but the video will currently be viewable only on an iPad or iPhone.)
The advantage of doing this is that it opens up other publishing platforms, such Google Books.

May 14, 2012 4:43 PM in response to MichiHenningby soulhill,I understand that other ePub's don't support the level of interactivity that iBooks Author does. If I am going to to the trouble to remaster, though, I might as well use inDesign or some other application with the broadest selection of output options.

Yes, if you have InDesign (and the skills to use it), that's the more flexible option. I suggested Pages mainly because it about as easy to use as IBA.
