Sell iBooks through iOS App

Question

Supposed I have an app where I can sell supplementary content in the form of an iBook. They take 30% either way, but I could use the app as a platform to sell it. Is there a way I can sell this through the app itself, but keep the features of the iBook? (multi-touch, iBook author, etc)

I could distribute via MDM or something over the air, but I would prefer a streamlined method of:

Purchase > Opens in iBooks > Read

The other option would be to use a UIPageViewController to duplicate the functionality of the book in the app itself. It would seem like I was reinventing the wheel though.

With iOS 6.0 or later you can use SKStoreProductViewController to sell other apps, books, music, etc. Pretty much anything from iTunes can be sold from within your app.

Nope, it'll get rejected if you sell stuff in the app without using In-App purchases
