It seems highly appropriate to let a publisher know that you WOULD have bought a book that they're publishing, but unfortunately it was not available in a format they sell. That way they get this kind of feedback and can factor in potential sales vs the cost of making a well formatted copy available in multiple formats.

But it also makes sense for Kindle users to buy Kindle formatted books that they are interested in - that way a publisher receives the best kind of feedback ($$$) that there is actually a market for ebooks in general. (And look! We could sell more by selling other formats!)

This is a market still in its infancy, and we need to not treat publishers as the enemy. Just try to get the message across in terms that they understand (potential sales).
