O'Reilly, Apress, Pragmatic Publishers, No-Starch Press, Take Control Books.
They may not fit your description of "mainstream commercial eBook sites" but they are the principal competitors of InformIt, whom the e-mail was sent to.
Also, I notice when mainstream bookstores advertise their book counts, often most of the books they are counting are freely available through the public domain.
I don't have anything against them wanting to "make a profit". I do not approve of piracy and I don't buy bootlegged CDs, DVDs, Books etc., that's unfair to the artist and the supplier. On the other hand, I have no respect for their attempts to restrict the property rights of others.
