With multiquote, stuff can get lost and hard to find in a dense wall of text. I think, for example, that even this small two-quoter is a bad use of multiquote.

Oh. True, no doubt, but despite protests of exaggeration, Amazon's customer base is so much larger than any other, I agree with the previous poster who said that some folks might be willing to give up a few extra sales for the convenience of only having to manage one format in one place.
On the other hand, someone who ONLY does, say, Smashwords, and NOT Amazon is shooting themselves much higher than the foot.
In my small, personal, anecdotal case, for example, I sell more in any one month at Amazon than I've sold through all of Smashword's outlets (B&N, Apple, Diesel, etc) in the several months I've been available there combined.
So, I'd say going only to Amazon might be shooting yourself in the pinky toe with an under-powered BB gun.
