If by "distribute his own books" you mean "set up his own web site, and hope that somebody will eventually notice it," sure. But nobody has gotten rich (or made a living) distributing their own books that way. The only way to have any reasonable hope of having a significant audience is to distribute through a major portal site, like Amazon. Who will cease to exist if they can't make money from it.
