I suspect that is true for far more authors they realize it. All any of us could do at that point is play the "well I am to small for them to actually care about" card. Again go read the information that is widely available on the topic, or not. Your call. I did, and I am glad I did.
Let's hear it then. Since you keep claiming this. Exactly how would you be in violation if you publish a new work through KDP? Chapter and verse please. I call FUD until you can produce the wording of the contract that places you and everyone (as you claim) in violation of the agreement. I agree with apk you seem to be having an issue with exclusivity and don't like it. That's fine, but that doesn't mean it's illegal, bad or wrong for others. If you sign with a traditional publisher the exclusivity may for 10 years not 90 days.

Full Disclosure: I am offering my work through the KDP program which I believe has significant advantages.
