Topic : 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: - selfpublishingguru.com

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.

An alternative is to upload your book using Smashwords, which is an Apple-approved aggregator. 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. Follow the link for a page specifically describing how to upload to iBookstore. They require your book to be in Microsoft Word format for irony's sake.

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.
