This is the greatest for two reasons.

1) I haven't heard of one case of Amazon flexing its power to make certain books exclusive. Most of the time, it is just the publishers being lazy or worse, not even knowing there is another option.
2) Peter Watts' Blindsight, along with most of his work, has been released under Creative Commons License. You can download it for free from his website or most public domain websites
