If you haven't gotten the message from other threads, Penguin seems to be the most muddleheaded to me. Their ebook prices are too high as they strive desperately to protect their print publishing. They're restricting lending under the smokescreen of "protecting authors" from piracy. They just seem to be the most clueless overall.
The best: the independents. They're pricing aggressively, promoting through social media, building their fan bases...doing the smart things, all with few or no resources other than time and dedication.
