I think a lot of publishers who are thinking actively about e-books (and most of them are) are biding their own time until they are ready. If we contact them, demonstrating that there is a market right now, maybe they will speed up the process. And if we phrase our requests properly, it might help them decide on issues like formats, DRM, price, etc, that they may be on the fence about right now.
Maybe some thought should be given to a script that could be used by consumers to send to publishers, hitting on our desired points so as to make clear to them what we want and how we want it. Some unity from us would be a help to them to make the final decisions.
