Is there any place to publish and sell your own eBook online? I've had this idea but the PDF creator seems like it'd be difficult to code. The iTunes App Store type business model seems ideal for this.

http://www.lulu.com/ is one of many, many. There are books sold in iTunes App Store today. Many I've seen are just lame repackaging of public domain texts.
These places seem like they're more targeted toward producing physical products. I'd focus on digital. Still think it's a viable idea for sure.
Also: Amazon lets you publish books directly from them using createspace.com, and you can sell a Kindle book for no charge (I think).
