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.
There are probably a lot of differences between book publishing and epublishing that isn't an offshoot of book publishing, and my post doesn't really address this because I admit I know very, very little about the latter; I would be far less comfortable commenting about epublishing on its own, because of that lack of knowledge; I imagine that building up an audience for ebooks might not be dissimilar from the long work required to build an audience for a blog.
