What about Penguin:
The Help, by Kathryn Stockett: Amazon $9.99, iBooks $12.99
Killing Floor by Lee Child: Amazon $6.99, iBooks $8.99

And Disney Hyperion:
The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan: Amazon $9.89, iBooks $10.99
The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan: Amazon $8.98, iBooks $10.99
The Titan's Curse by Rick Riordan: Amazon $4.40, iBooks $5.99

And Matterhorn Press:
Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes: Amazon $9.99, iBooks $11.99

(just browsing Amazon's top seller list-a much bigger selection than iBooks, for sure)
