If it doesn't already exists on this site somewhere, perhaps it might be worthwhile that we create a reference list of e-book stores other than Amzn that we can shop for books that we prefer.
So far I can think of kobo, smashwords, Google Play, ebooks.com, authors who sell direct from their sites as already stated in this thread, check out the main publishers' sites [ones that Amzn do not own] etc.
But we are still going to have the problem of authors whose work we like that are exclusive to Amzn. Give them up until their works are available elsewhere.
For those of us who will drop Amzn eventually, we could, as suggested elsewhere in this thread, send a very courteous email to them letting them know the reason they won't be supported by us anymore. Likely won't matter to them but it would be something for them to think on when sales / royalties decrease.
