But honestly, you're an author, you shouldn't HAVE to promote your own book. A good publishing house should have someone do that for you, they have contacts and a network you most likely do not.
This unfortunately is not the case in the epublishing industry. You're expected to do a LOT of self-promo and you can't rely on the publisher for that. That's the way the business works.
The divide between print and epublishing I think is growing more than shrinking these days, I'm afraid.
