I took a browse around the site and it looks pretty spiffy. Pricing seems pretty straighforward as well. According to the site's main page it seems pretty easy to get done:

1. Submit your book in digital format: .html, .doc, .txt, or .rtf
2. We convert your book into an iPhone book format.
3. We take that and submit for distribution through the iPhone app store and Apple iTunes.
