We have been asked by our client to create training manuals for the iPad. Is it possible to publish a book in iBooks author that can be distributed privately? This would be work that we would be paid by our client to produce. Thanks for any help.
You can just export the book in .ibooks format from iBooks Author and make it available any way you like, such as sending it by email. uploading to Dropbox, making it available on a webserver for download, etc.
Note that, if you do this, you must distribute the book free of charge, otherwise you will be in violation of the IBA EULA. However, it's OK to charge for the development of the book.

Upload the .ibooks files on your own server, behind a secure logon, for download from there.
Thanks K T and MichiHenning. This was vey helpful!
I just wasn't sure how to interpret the "distribute free of charge" since we will be charging for development. We will certainly be distributing free of charge.
How do I publish training documents that need to be private, not available to the public in the iBookstore?
