If giving Amazon a one year head start on an ebook is what it takes to get a backlist title as an ebook, then that is a net win. The ebook is forever, Amazon's exclusive is only one year.
In this case, the ebooks seem to already be available. So you can buy them today, but in the future there will be one year period when you can't without a Kindle.
