Penguin Producing Crappy eBooks?

So, Amazon reps are saying (at least in a response posted on the Amazon boards, so not sure if it's true) that Penguin has been providing them with a number of crappy ebooks lately. On this board we've been talking about Jim Butcher's "Turn Coat".

Here's the forum post.

This is the particular bit:
We are currently working with Penguin, the publisher of all the books you've mentioned, to try and get the triple-spacing changed. This has been common with a majority of the content they have been providing in the Kindle Store. However, they do have final say on whether each of these books receives a change to the formatting, so we cannot promise that the fixes will definitely occur."
So anyone else seeing this? Any other books from Penguin you've noticed, other formats? This post overblowing it? If they are consistently doing this is a more organized response appropriate? Letters? Boycotts?
