No most are not.
I would say about 50% or less. The way to tell is if they are in Kindle Unlimited, they are exclusive.
When one uploads their book to Amazon, they have a choice of being in Select which is exclusive or not going into Select and they can publish everywhere.
Not only that but the author has the choice to do print on demand and can sell their paperbacks wherever they choose.
Some ebooks have the paper reviews too.
It would appreciated if you would quit spreading stuff about all self published books.
I will give you there are many horrible self-published books.
There are also many former traditional authors that were tired of making less than a dollar per book sold.
Jon, choice A, go total traditional and get 50 cents if you are lucky per book sold or self publish and make a minimum of 2 dollars per book.
I know both sets of authors.
Hey if all self-published is so bad, how is Hugh on a yacht? How do Joe Nobody and Ryk Brown afford full time employees?
Now the biggest genre that has seen traditional to self-published is Romance. So many of those authors have fought hard to get their rights back.
