I can never buy this one. He's gone exclusive with Amazon. That means it's not available in the format I want. I'm not buying from Amazon. If I cannot buy in ePub, too bad. That's another sale lost.

Plus, it means he doesn't care about me, so I don't care if he tanks.
You do know it's fairly easy to format shift from azw to epub? I do understand in a perfect word you just get everything in exactly the format you want without DRM, but we don't live in a perfect world. So I think the word you are looking for is not "can't buy" but rather "refuse to buy". It's your choice, of course, if you don't wish to make the effort and I'm not saying you should, but it is a choice.
