I agree, the best thing to do.
This and other threads convince me that most publishers are either only paying lip-service to any desire to produce quality ebooks... or they really believe customers don't care about quality. Only they can decide whether the effort to produce quality is worth it... or if they'd rather give up and blame "consumer apathy" for bad sales.
Of course, if they continue to produce ebooks like that, I'd just as soon see them go out of business sooner than later. Unfortunately, those publishers still hold the control of their backlists, essentially, holding them hostage against our desires to see old books converted into ebooks. If they fold, will anyone be able to recover those backlisted books and turn them into ebook product?
And will the new publishers give us any better quality than the existing slack publishers?
