Has anyone had decent success selling iBooks?

I'm starting to wonder if it is worth the effort. Does anyone buy books from any Apple site, either iBooks Store or iTunes U?

Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

That and lots of other details are in the iBooks Publisher User Guide and iBookstore Formatting Guide which you can download once you have set up an iTunesConnect account.

Great! I just wanted to check a little detail before forking over all of the info that is required. I've been convinced it's worth it.
