Use iBooks Author, only Apple can ever publish the result

But is repackaging an option? Does this restriction apply only to the distribution of the resulting ebook file, or to the distribution of the creative work that the ebook file represents?

Reading the quoted passage from the EULA, to me it sounds like any eBook packaged via Apple's software can only be sold via Apple. That eBook cannot be repackaged from the original source text/files/fdata using different tools for sale via another channel. Apple therefore claims exclusivity for the textbook completely.

Of course, if you are giving your work away, then it looks like the exclusivity condition doesn't apply.

Or am I reading it wrong?
