Hate it all you want, but more people will "see" the magazine at Amazon, than ever did at Fictionwise. I think the tactic will ultimately fail, but I'm not going to vilify someone for trying everything they can to save a dying magazine.
So why not stay at Fictionwise and also go to Amazon? That way you won't piss off existing customers and may get new ones. That's the smart business idea. Going exclusive with Amazon is a really bad business decision.
