How many examples would one need to find before you would think they weren't "forced"?
Kindle Direct Publishing’s Terms of Service

Quote:
1 Exclusivity. When you include a Digital Book in KDP Select, you give us the exclusive right to sell and distribute your Digital Book in digital format while your book is in KDP Select. During this period of exclusivity, you cannot sell or distribute, or give anyone else the right to sell or distribute, your Digital Book (or a book that is substantially similar), in digital format in any territory where you have rights.
Your counter example, Dana Stabenow, is published by Head of Zeus publishing. That publisher obviously has a better deal with Amazon than the indie authors we're talking about. J. K. Rowling does too.

And, back to my point: I just think Amazon should re-examine the exclusivity necessary to be enrolled in KU. KU seems to be successful enough that allowing authors to list their books for sale everywhere would not impact Kindle Unlimited, as that is a different thing. That is all I am talking about here.

You say you are not interested in my argument, but then you keep replying to me focusing on small parts. Not sure what your point is.
