Exclusive deals with Amazon is just going to lose you sales. Even if you eventually sold outside of Amazon, there is no way in hell I'd ever buy your book(s). And I would not mind telling you to take your contract and shove it.

To be honest, it's any exclusive eBook deals that are a problem. But the real problem is that when Amazon does it, it gets press.

As for exclusive deals, they are as bad as audio CDs with copy protection. For a CD with copy protection, once that is defeated, please pirate the hell out of it. Same thing with eBooks that are under an exclusive deal. Pirate the hell out of them too.
