Exclusives are just that, exclusives. Plenty of ebooks are only on the Kindle, but they don't HAVE to be only on the kindle.
If you read a certain type of book, almost any store will take care of you. I, for one, can pretty much only be served by the Kindle store as no one else has hardly anything I'd buy.

Of your three CURRENTLY READING books on Goodreads, only one is on the Kindle Store (
Just After Sunset), and it's also at Sony's eBook Store. The first book I could find in your recently marked as to-read list that was on the Kindle Store (
Rabbi Jesus: An Intimate Biography) was also available at the Sony store. Same thing goes for the next (
Who's Afraid of Postmodernism). I do see that
The Resurrection of Jesus: John Dominic Crossan And N.T. Wright in Dialogue is available for Kindle but isn't available at any other eBook Store.
I have no problem accepting that the Kindle Store has a wider selection of published books than non-Kindle eBook stores. I'm just trying to see what these "tons and tons and tons of [non-independent] books" that you mentioned might be. I still don't see how that can be more than a small fraction of the 100k more books Amazon claims.
