I'd rather show the authors the love than the publishers. With my $5 payment for an eBook directly to the author he is getting $5 for the book rather than 50¢ going to him.

Also, Richard Hurley's pay if you like it is even better. But, as he says, you really need some way to filter out the junk if just anyone is going to throw up an ebook file.

Perhaps the publishers will see that if they are being bypassed they need to change their pricing strategies and royalty strategies for ebooks. Because, I think the editing and review work that publishers do is important to get quality books out there.
