The real problem is that there is no middle ground and that frustrates both parties.
The Indie authors wish more people with EPub readers had bought their books at those stores. That way they would not feel like they were losing money by not participating in Amazon's exclusive program. I would bet that the non-Amazon readers wish is that more people had bought the Indie authors work at the EPub stores so that those authors would not feel the need to embrace Amazon's program.
And I am left wondering why the EPub bookstores have yet to come up with something that would help counter Amazon's program which would hurt Amazon and benefit the EPub bookstores.
