I had about 10 sales to B&N in 2011.
In December and January, I had 91 "borrows" through Kindle select. That's two months in the Select program vs. 11 months of B&N sales.
JSWolf and anamardoll, it isn't that I don't value you as readers. It's just that I don't value you fifty times more than I value the readers who borrow through Select.
Even if a portion of those borrows is cannibalized from my paying customers, the ratio of borrows to B&N sales would end up as...what? 40:1? 20:1? 10:1? 2:1?
Ultimately, I'm going to go where the readers are.
I really do apologize if you take it personally, but you might save some of your ire for the disparate epub retailers who wouldn't come together on a common format (DRM, actually), which was their only chance to compete with Amazon.
Until something changes, epub is looking more and more like "beta" to me vs. Amazon's VHS. As the owner of two Kobo readers myself, I don't say this gleefully, but that's how it appears at this time, at least here in the USA.
