Amazon Self-publishing questions answered: How to sell books outside of Amazon?
*Disclaimer There are so many reasons choosing Amazon is such a great option for self-publishing. There are also so many reasons why you may not want to exclusively distribute through Amazon. This topic can get a little overwhelming. So much, in fact, that I've had to navigate into these waters...
