Which I eluded to in post 2, and said in post 4, and for some reason you felt the need to repeat. Than you made your post about it could only be read (on non Amazon hardware/apps) if it was converted, which I believe is false.

For all but bigger publishers exclusivity is required for KU. In the case of this book however even if it wasn't KU it'd be exclusive since it's from Lake Union Publishing which is an imprint of Amazon Publishing & APub doesn't make their stuff available outside Amazon generally (either for retail or libraries).

Thanks for the recommendation. I added it to the 25-book ePub omnibus I just created that includes 25 books, in which most of them were on the NYT bestseller lists (all in ePub format). I plan on reading them all in the near future.

Is this a case of the author being a "NY times best seller", but not this particular book? Doing a quick search I couldn't find this book on a NY times best seller list.

Amazon exclusives don't make it to the New York Times bestseller list.

It means that there are not enough people who buy Amazon exclusives to get them in the NYT list. The NYT's list is one a lot of people browse and buy books they see there they may be interested in.

I think I included two or three books that I wanted to read that weren't on the NYT bestseller lists. What I can tell you is that the file was easily converted to ePub.

Can we please dispense with all discussion concerning Amazon exclusivity in this recommendation thread? It's not at all relevant.
