Out of curiosity, if you don't mind:
a- Are you totally wide or do you mix-n-match/rotate?
b- What's your ratio of KDP/other? I've seen some authors report different ratios, with some making major portions (~30%) at Nook or Kobo and others reporting single digits. Obviously the mileage varies by genre, title, career path.
c- Ratio of digital to print? Print editions are important but again, mileage varies. The thought comes to mind that going Exclusive might drive print sales a bit higher.
A "no" is an acceptable answer, btw. No problem. It really isn't my business but curiosity can be an itch.
(Good luck, either way.)
