I buy mostly nonfiction also. It’s the exceedingly rare trad-pubbed nonfiction book that’s published on Amazon only and can’t be bought at Kobo. I can’t remember the last time I ran across one. And if it’s self-pubbed, the reason it’s an Amazon exclusive, then quality is a significant factor and I’d argue that the book could be skipped. Again, do you have to read exactly that book? Aren’t there other books of interest to you that you could read instead? I’ll never be able to read every book I’d like to read and if I were motivated not to do business with Amazon, that’s my answer.
Of course if you
have to read
exactly that book, then you’d go for it. But I suspect that those purchases are rare.
By the way, I did not employ the phrase “kind of like it” as your use of quotation marks implies.
