Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books
roofuskit@lemmy.world 14 hours agoI’m sorry but the idea that most ebooks are exclusive to Amazon is absurd. While they are trying and would love that to be true, it’s just not.

Tha was my first thought too, but I’m not so sure. I’d love to see data on it. I did a quick search and couldn’t find any numbers, but I did find articles talking about Amazon requiring exclusivity in some cases. ingramspark.com/…/amazon-exclusive-options-create…

100% they have pressured some smaller publishers and authors into exclusivity, especially self published authors that use their print on demand services. But most books you can find at competing digital storefronts.

I hear what you’re saying, but I’d still like to see numbers before taking a stance.
