Opinions, from both the reader and author viewpoints?
As long as the exclusive period isn't too long, I don't really care (I have a Non-Kindle reader). If it's only 90 days, and it helps an author out, I say go for it. If I really, really, really want the book, I'll buy it through my PC.

But the most likely scenario is, it will go on my TBR list. The longer it is on my TBR list, the less likely I am to buy it.

I don't read many "Indie" authors, and if I do, I hear about them here on Mobile Read. I have read Risen.

As far as the advantages of marketing by Amazon, I don't have an opinion, as I don't think I pay attention to whatever they do.

Edit: I'm a reader.
