: Re: How do I create a book on iBookstore without having a Mac? I use Linux, and I'd like to format a book for the iBookstore. When I go to signup to iTunes Connect to upload my books, it says:
You can rent a Mac in the "Cloud" using MacInCloud. They have several pricing plans including pay-per-go (which unfortunately has a minimum charge and automatic recharge). The cost may be prohibitive if you don't expect many (or any) sales.

They'll take a cut of the profits, but you need to give your book an honest assessment and consider if you'll have any profits to worry about.

A third option is to install OS X on a VM, though I can't speak for the legality of such a maneuver and therefore will leave it at that.
