While the last page of this topic has degraded, erm, turned into a DRM discussion, I will say that, yes. It is getting harder to keep publishing on other retailers. I used to sell more on B&N, but in the past year, that has dried up. With no updated hardware and questionable CS practices, that ship is sinking.
I am convinced that had I gone exclusive two years ago, I would have made more money. I thought that at the time, but resisted. While I could withstand that in the short term the short term has now turned into a "too long" term. I'm still managing, but that is mainly because Kobo has helped with some promotional opportunities. But even with those, it's become a nearly impossible road to pedal. I had hoped at the time that B&N and Kobo and Google would be stepping up their game, but that has been very slow to happen. In the case of B&N, it went the wrong direction.
