Actually, it seems some publishers care. I recently bought some Roger Taylor fantasies from Mushroom eBooks which had tiny maps. I wrote a polite letter to the company complaining about this, and got a reply within about half an hour to the effect that they hadn't realised that their older ebooks didn't display properly on newer devices, and now I'd pointed it out, they'd make new editions ASAP. They also sent me a jpeg of the map in question to be going on with.
So perhaps if we write a letter to the publisher every time we get an unsatisfactory ebook, we might see some results.
