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.
