The URL parameter in the book.json file is required, but what does it do? How does it work?
I know it says this:
url (string): Unique identifier of the publication, using the book:// protocol.

But what should I change it to before I publish my book using Baker? Lets assume I'm publishing a book or magazine to the Apple App Store, and I only want people to buy it from there. Do I also put my book up on my website? Do I just make up something, like book://mywebsite.com/bookname.hpub? How does it affect my app? Can I just leave the Study in Scarlet url in there? Secondly, do I actually need to publish any files to my website so that something all be available at the URL?

I'm unclear on the purpose of this parameter.
