Indies on Amazon Kindle Only
Why do so many independent authors choose to lock their eBooks into the Amazon Kindle ecosystem?
With Amazon recently further locking down Amazon Kindle eBooks, I've been looking into other eBook stores. Many of the eBooks I've read are independently published and either solely available on Amazon Kindle, or only available on Amazon Kindle and Apple Books. Nothing on Google Play Books, Kobo, or independent eBook shops. It makes it difficult to avoid Amazon Kindle or leave the Amazon Kindle ecosystem should you choose to do so, which if I had to guess is the point. But isn't that leaving money on the table for the authors?
