Okay, gotcha. The "only Amazon" thing could be true. I think when he had his earlier one on special, he had it on his website too, but I can't swear to that (I download too many books.) I didn't pay particular attention to whether he was offering it on his website this time either.

The thing is, you have to test the market somewhere. I wouldn't be able to hold it against him for testing it on the largest ebook market. I mean, it's only logical. If you can't sell enough copies there, it's going to be hard to justify trying it other places.

That said, I agree that you can't go with a single market very long. The only way to build an audience is to go hunt them down, mug them, er, I mean, find where they like to be and offer them the product.

Given the emails I've seen from him in the past, he's the kind of guy, who, if you pointed out he was not making it available to other markets, would probably make it available to other markets. Shrug. But I don't really know him. I've just seen the emails/posts.
