Yeah, I think Stephen King did that as a fun experiment when the tech was relatively new (and he is so prolific that he can afford to throw one in the wind and see what happens....). I doubt that many established authors have done this or would do this in the future. But for new authors, obviously there is a lower barrier to entry with publishing ebooks, than there is for printed books. So there are LOTS. Tons. Just look in the Deals and Freebies forum. And also the Authors Self Promotion forum. The question then becomes, how to distinguish your ebooks from the pack, and build up buzz and make it successful? Amanda Hocking and a handful of others (oh yeah, 50 Shades of Gray!!!) have been able to do it.
As for big-name authors (besides Stephen King) publishing ebook-only titles, I am not sure why they would want to do that?
