If I remember the author's comments (re Amazon KU), they were basically: I've noticed that my overall revenue is down for the books I have in KU, so I pulled them. I don't remember any major rancour towards Amazon.
And any support the independents gave Amazon during this time was pretty much a non-factor. The independents were on Amazon anyways, and since they weren't being published by the Hachette, there really wasn't much to support or not support.
