To confirm the basic premise of this thread, a favourite author (Nathan Lowell) has just released his latest book, and chose to release it to Amazon Select because, as he says on his blog:


Previous books had been released on Apple, Nook, & Kobo, for all the good it did him.
That trend is starting to spread beyond Indie Authors to small publishers:

The non-Kindle stores need to step up their game:

Anybody notice that Data Guy had to modify the spider to adapt to non-responsive web pages at Nook?
Or that Google games their top 100 "seller" list? B&N used to do that to hide indie romance titles.
And Kobo? When they sold out to Rakuten they were bragging of "high single digit" US market share so they seem to have lost half their share since then.

Hard to fault small/indie publishers for going KDP Select and KU.
