That already got the offerings down to a manageable level. But when faced with a large and amorphous selection, publisher can be a handy if crude tool to make some cuts.

But that's different from saying that books of certain publishers tend to appeal more than others.
Back when OverDrive allowed you to search based on publisher, I found that an extremely useful means of finding something to read when I wasn't looking for anything in particular. And I have no interest in genre at all, so that wasn't the qualifier. I was very sorry when that was discontinued during one of the upgrades.
