I have a Kindle, and tend to favor the mobi format when preparing my e-books (I let Smashwords handle ePub and other formats, but I do my mobis for the Kindle store myself). I like the Kindle store, and get things up on there much faster than it takes with Smashwords's Premium Catalog distribution. But while I was tempted briefly by the new offer, I'm not going to pull any my current books and most likely won't give Amazon exclusivity with my upcoming releases. I like having my stuff up all over the place and while I strongly support the idea of e-book loans I am not willing to sacrifice what Amazon is asking in this case.
