The thing is, we need to see numbers for outside the US to know if it's best to not go Amazon exclusive. But as we don't have these numbers, any US only numbers are worthless. The links posted by fjtorres don't have any numbers that mean anything. So until we get such, this entire article that started this thread is meaningless.

If I remember fjtorres right, the US Amazon is 50% of all ebook sales.
Therefore the numbers are not worthless.
Now if I knew that I would make the bulk of my money from Amazon especially if you throw in Amazon UK, would it be worth my time and effort to upload to other sites?
Since exclusive is only a 90 day commitment or none if I choose not to go select. I could reassess every few months or if I don't choose select I could upload at other sites at any time.
See I could choose to do Amazon alone but not choose their select.
My guess would be with 1 book, the money probably wouldn't be worth the time invested. More than 3 books would take some serious thinking.
