A sort of bribery. Amazon does more marketing and gives better terms if you give them exclusivity. KDP Select.
Amazon's size and marketing practices results in about 92% of English language ebooks being sold via Amazon. Yet less than half our sales are via Amazon.
It stinks and we won't sign up to Amazon exclusivity. Our ebooks breakdown:
1. Smashwords
2. Amazon
3. Apple, Kobo, Barnes & Noble: All similar sales. (Dist to them by Smashwords)
4. A couple of other sellers. (Dist to them by Smashwords)
Oddly Google are rubbish. Zero Playstore/Playbooks sales. We upload direct only to Amazon, Smashwords and Google.
Smashwords has become part of Draft2Digital.
