Cause just not buying overpriced books is what I have been doing all along.
You want petitions, blogs, lists?
Nothing so organised - and nothing that the publishers/retailers won't see. Email the publisher, email the retailer. Tell them they've lost a sale today.

If you don't buy a book, and don't tell them, they don't know, they'll just assume author x isn't selling very well.

If you tell them, there's a chance they'll note the interest in author x, and consider the availablity, demand, and pricing policy of ebooks. OK 1 letter from 1 reader can't do that much. So email them everytime you don't buy a book because it's too expensive, or the wrong format. At the very least you're supporting your authors, and helping them to get future books published.
