Tom Doherty may be the savviest guy in publishing, and Tor has historically had much more of a clue than other publishers.
Consider that Tor publishes the paper versions of Cory Doctorow's books, and doesn't get upset at the fact that he offers electronic versions in an assortment of formats free on his web site. Most publishers would have apoplexy at that idea. (Cory is doing well enough on pbook sales that he quit his day job to go full time freelance.)
In general, Tor Gets It. Not always, and they don't always get it right, but they have a much higher batting average than anyone else I can think of, save Baen Books. (They also have a broader list than Baen. Baen is a pure play SF/Fantasy house. Tor does other things as well.)
