It's an annoying situation, to be sure. I really dislike retailer exclusives, and, as Amazon has major publishing ambitions plus Kindle Unlimited they have a lot of exclusives. (I understand Kobo is working on getting exclusive content, and even as a Kobo customer that annoys me on principle.)

I finally had to go to the effort of setting up Alf with my Calibre install because there were a few Dave Duncan Amazon exclusives.

Ebooks are *not* a complicated data format. I curse the publishers for insisting on DRM, which is the direct cause of the retail stupidity in e-books that we're dealing with to this day...
