It would make sense for Amazon to want to keep its best selling writers Kindle only. Whoever wins the ebook reader war wins control over content.

Yes, Konrath (with Amazon's help) did screw his loyal fans. So I hope Konrath gets pirated to hell and back and then some. Exclusive deals like this hurt innocent customers who want to be able to read a book that's been locked away.
It makes no sense for anyone to sign an exclusive deal. These deal hurt the customers and the authors/publishers. I'll help pirate the hell out of any exclusive eBook if I can. And I don't find it morally objectionable to take money out of the hands of the author and/or publisher. It's not my fault for the exclusive deal. If you are an author and want me to stop pirating your work, stop making exclusive deals.
