It's crazy when I - as a potential customer - have to hunt down your book. Take The Troll Hunter for example. BlueTyson recommended the book and gave a link to Amazon. And that's when I find out the author has signed up for KDP Select.
But I don't have a kindle - and I don't buy ebooks from Amazon since I don't support their actions.
I don't have any interest in pirating, so I go to the author's site...and find this:
Now, isn't that special?? I can't even buy the book from the person who wrote it.
So...what's a girl to do?
In this instance, I sent an email to the author who hooked me up (very nice guy, BTW). But I am not a typical reader...and most people won't jump through those hoops. Most people will pick out a new book or go play Angry Birds or something.
