Using System Events to set the left top position of the window to 100, 100
set newTopLeftPosition to {100, 100}
tell application "System Events"
tell process "iBooks"
set position of window 1 to newTopLeftPosition
end tell
end tell
You can also set it up to be centred on the screen, if you like, by using:
tell application "Finder" to set {screenLeft, screenTop, screenWidth, ScreenHeight} to bounds of window of desktop
tell application "System Events"
tell process "iBooks"
set {windowWidth, windowHeight} to size of window 1
set position of window 1 to {(screenWidth - windowWidth) / 2 as integer, (ScreenHeight - windowHeight) / 2 as integer}
end tell
end tell
