This might seem like a really stupid question, but why would anyone actually *need* a publisher when it comes to ebooks? I mean, come on. If you're so desperate that you want to go only the ebook route, and you don't mind doing all the heavy work, you can do everything you need to get your book published yourself, and the worst that'll come out of it is just a little bit of hard work on your part.
You pay a few bucks for a cover, a few for the ISBN, pay for an editor (no, don't trust your own editing skills, trust me!) market the crap out of your book (probably spending at least a little money to do so) and then get a few professional reviews of your novel as well to boost its presence in the ebook market. Ebooks are the great leveler. When it comes to publishing with nothing but ebooks (which is where the market is headed) you don't need a publishing house, unless you're too busy/lazy/whatever to be bothered with it.
So with that in mind, who even needs a Vanity press for ebooks? Nobody honestly.
