>>Part of that may be not having any ebooks ready for sale<<
Amazon and some other ebook stores have the option of posting free ebooks. Those tend to get attention from readers because people will search the freebie list when they're stuck waiting or otherwise bored and looking for new material. So you might make a sampler that contains good introductory stories to several of your settings, and post it for free on all the venues where you want to sell. At the same time, put up a for-sale ebook, like a theme anthology or bundled collection. There's usually a way to put ads or links or something into the ebook file, so you can basically make the free ebook point to the for-sale one as well as your website. Then if people like your writing, they know where to find more of it.
