i would absolutely encourage you to write to the publisher (and possibly also the author, if you can find a contact address), i do regularly (and they even write back !). publishers need to know they have customers ready and waiting for them, and writing to them is a good way to show that. also, on amazon there is a button to click to "request this book in a kindle edition" (or something similar). i don't have a kindle, but i click on that button anyway, because i think if amazon collects enough votes in favor of a specific title then hopefully it will be available in epub as well as kindle format (rising tide floating all boats, so to speak).

I do think that Jason B's idea is a good one, though. There are a lot of books which are currently out of print, or not available as ebooks which I would very much like to buy. I would cheerfully pay a fair price for them, were I only given the chance.
