Can a person publish fiction e-books, rather than getting an agent & going through a publisher?

I know I asked this earlier, but I only got 1 answer because the Y!A system was backed up. I need more than 1 person’s help.

Do I get to repeat my answer?
Yes, you can try e-publishing, but the chances of selling are not very good unless the work is *******. That’s the only genre selling well in e-book form.
When you, your friends, your family, your teachers, etc. are looking for something to read, do they visit the websites of e-publishers first? Nope. And neither does anybody else, which is why sales remain poor. No marketing plan that works is in place.
So ask yourself why you don’t want to go the print route, with an agent (or a small press which doesn’t require agents). The truthful answer (”I wonder if I’m good enough” “What if they reject me?”) is the one that can open your eyes.
Don’t lower your aim. Raise your own standards in terms of what you write.
Yes you can. You can either try Amazon.com and hope for the best, or you can create and publicize your own website for your books. (I recommend which is a free service for creating your website if you don’t have the technical knowledge to create a website.) You can set up your stories as an ebook at this website: Good luck.
