Choice is fine, assuming people are making use of those other choices. But Fergus Bannon's Judgement (which I publish) hasn't had a sale or download on Smashwords in over a year, whereas there's been a tiny but more or less constant tick-over of sales on Amazon ever since it appeared there.
Kindle's the big giant tentacled monster in this box, and that's where people are going to get their ebooks in their droves. And I mean droves. I put Judgement up for free for a very short while, using KDP's new program, and in just a day or two it's had very nearly ten thousand downloads. I don't disagree about being able to have choice, but at the same time Amazon might be taking advantage of you, it might be an opportunity to take advantage of them back.
