Local Author Ebooks

I've mentioned before that in Terramagne-America, the states (and some smaller regions or major cities) have local author networks such that individuals or institutions can subscribe to them.  It's usually an option within major providers of e-reading content; libraries and waiting rooms typically have e-readers for guests to use, where you can search by topic, author, title, locale, etc.  I've looked and looked for something similar in local-America.

A friend on [community profile] snowflake_challenge mentioned one, and what ho! it's even in Illinois!  Check out Inkie.  Authors can create an e-book from their manuscript and share it through libraries.  \o/  Looks like they're using Pressbooks.  I have no idea how to do such a thing, but it might be interesting to put out something through there, if anyone else is familiar with that approach.
