Yes. The "iceBooks" are the current "style" of iBook ... small, 
all-white, square.

Prior to these, iBooks were large, clamshell-shaped things in various 
colours. If you've never seen one of those, here's a picture:

Your browser will display them, or Preview, or Appleworks. There's also 
the popular shareware GraphicConverter, pretty much any art program 
(like Photoshop) and dozens of others. I personally use a program 
called JView to quickly display JPEG and GIF files in Mac OS X. I 
assume that's what you are using.
