You won't buy books from certain publishers because you believe they don't give the author enough of a cut. So you feel that no money going to the author (by you not buying their book) is better than a little going their way? I'm sure the authors who signed contracts (which, I suspect, specified what sort of percentage they would receive) with the 'big houses' would agree with your stance.
