Can I share my iPhoto book online for my family to browse and purchase?
I do this currently with MyPublisher but I'd like to do it with iPhoto as well as the software is so much easier to use and less buggy!

Afraid not.
You can generate a pdf of it for them to see and then order on their behalf.

THanks Terence, good suggestion. Is there an automated way to create a PDF of the book in iPhoto that you know of?
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
The resulting PDF is quiet large sice it is set for high quality printing

Actually, I have found an even better way to share online. I too have been in the habit of saving my books out to PDFs and when those became too large, even for YouSendIt and the like, I ran into the same problem you did.
I have discovered that if you click on your book in iPhoto and then select "Export" under "file" that you have a number of options to choose from. The best I feel is the "Slideshow" option which allows you to create different types of video formats. I for example use the export to .mov and create a fantastic QT file that plays the book out exactly as it is. The other options do not seem to do that for some reason.
The only part I have yet to figure out is how to control the speed of the page turning (yes it creates a nice page turning effect for the book). Of course if one wants to read the text in the book one has to press pause on their playback.
I then have uploaded those video files to YouTube, Facebook, etc. and shared them from there.
