The closest analogy to ebooks would be cassette culture in the late 70s, where people recorded music in their bedroom and sold or gave them away through the post. Chumbawamba and Human League would probably be the most widely known of those, but there were thousands of people doing it to varying levels of competence. The Astronauts were the most competent of them all, of course
