There are some authors published by traditional publishers with books in the Smashwords store, the ones I know of don't seem to be involved in this Xmas sale unfortunately, but anyone who reads SF would have heard of some of these authors:

Gregory Benford
Ben Bova
David Brin:
Greg Egan
Larry Niven
Charles Sheffield
Walter Jon Williams

Greg Egan's books for example: most are published by Hachette in the UK, but there are some self-published US editions in the Smashwords store.
