I have an i pad. Can I publish existing books so that i pad users can buy them without owning a MAC computer? In other words, do I have to own a MAC computer to sell books on ipads?

I am an author who would like to sell books to i pad users like me. Do I have to have a MAC computer to accomplish that or can I load my books onto the i books store from a PC?

iPad 2, Windows XP

That is not possible. You would need to use an aggregator. Apple has an approved list of them.
