The other
very clever thing that Baen do is to "package" each month's releases into a monthly "Webscriptions" package. This means that new authors get lots of exposure to customers who buy the package. I've found some wonderful authors that way, whose books I'd never have bought individually, simply because I've never heard of them.

How difficult can it be for an author to self-publish an eBook after the hard work (the writing) is done?

These days it's dead easy - anyone can sell a book through MobiPocket's web site, for example, completely independently of any publisher. Of course, by doing it that way you miss out on all the work that the publisher does for you.
