This is generally true for me as well, although some months I sell almost as many copies total over at Kobo (different mix of what sells, but on a per copy count). Kobo has even beaten out Amazon at least one month. But I don't think going without Amazon is a viable plan.
I don't sell a lot on AllRomance so I'd been thinking of trying another channel. I like their CS and they run deals that my books qualify for and so on. But not all my books are romance and generally speaking romance is a subplot for my books so I thought they might do better on a different platform. Right now I use AllRomance to push the titles to Apple and that hasn't worked well for me, but it's all or nothing--I either push all of them via AllRomance or none and it's not easy to switch on and off...bother.
Well, it's interesting input and by that I mean your personal experiences as well as the topic of someone buying based on DRM. Thanks.
