1 Exclusivity. When you include a Digital Book in KDP Select, you give us the exclusive right to sell and distribute your Digital Book in digital format while your book is in KDP Select. During this period of exclusivity, you cannot sell or distribute, or give anyone else the right to sell or distribute, your Digital Book (or a book that is substantially similar), in digital format in any territory where you have rights.

Note it is not a limit on just selling but says
distribute. That means I can not give my mom a copy... or have a copy on my web site, or etc. PROBLEM I have sold my book already through other stores like Smashwords. Once 1 copy has been bought there, they will continue to distribute it to any one that has purchased it. That means anyone that has pulled their books from Smashwords, Sony, Apply, etc can not go in to KDP because those stores will continue to distribute it. I.E. if I were to try KDP today, I am in violation. That is why I say I can never be part of the KDP program, even if I want to. That was the point I was making in that regard.
As for the rest, go read the threads I linked. I should not even bothered with this post, but alas I feel I should at least make one last attempt at raising the warning flags before giving up on this. I am stepping out of this discussion now. Flame away...
