There's no reason I can think of to not use the individual PDF pages as Chapter art...but there's a catch right now with the iPad: we've been testing and found that it doesn't display Chapter art properly. Try playing an Audiobook on the iPad and you'll notice the Chapter art doesn't change when it's supposed to, if at all. Then tap the Playlist button so you can see the list of Chapters in the Audiobook. The wrong Chapter (the first in the list) will be shown as playing, even though it's obviously not the one that's playing. This happens with Apple's own Audiobooks, too, but since they don't usually have Chapter art (just cover art), and they usually have just two Chapters, it's not a big deal. We'll need to let Apple know about this and see what they can do.
Another potential issue is the resolution we use for Chapter art is pretty low at 320x320 - so as to not waste space on the iPod and iPhone. I don't know if older iPods can display higher resolutions without bogging down (some get sluggish when there are a lot of Chapters, for instance). We may end up providing options for higher resolution art but with the caveat that the final Audiobook may not work on all iPods.
So for now it looks like your best bet is a PDF handout or using a PDF viewer like iBooks. Keep in touch and we can let you know what's happening with the glitch with Chapter art on the iPad and any new features we come up with for higher resolution art.
