From what I've read most authors seem to get a good amount of sales from Amazon compared to elsewhere. Maybe it's as simple as reaching enough people with the least amount of work.

I have some ideas for a story I want to write. I've thought about how I would publish it and to me Amazon looks like the easiest way to do it. I'm not sure if it is possible, but if I publish with Amazon I would publish DRM-Free and then offer instructions on my website for conversion to other formats.
