Most KU books are Amazon exclusive, but not all. Certainly not the larger publishers. Individuals using KDP Select will be exclusive to Amazon. Do search the title (Duck Duck Go, Google etc) and sometimes it's not exclusive.

It's not like only Walmart or Tesco having Heinz baked beans. It's like only one online retailer having any baked beans at all. Exclusive retail for a mass market item is quite different to a wholesaler, distributor or publisher having exclusive rights. It should be illegal. Also as Amazon has over 90% of English language ebook sales in the world, monopoly laws should apply.
