Maybe it would be a good idea to contact the authors you like and suggest to them that it would be beneficial to switch to a publisher with business models more in line with the current century?
But that's my problem - the Golden Age authors still under copyright protection are - obviously dead - and their works are being flogged by these ignorant publishers.
I've had success emailing living authors (recently Martha Grimes) - who are actively interested in ebooks - more sales & more money for them. Our emails to them give authors ammunition to use with their publishers.
