Amazon exclusivity?

1. Amazon exclusivity?

   #1

   I don't know a bunch about it, just some one-offs I have read.
   
   But once we publish with Amazon, we are locked down correct? No other publishing?

   If you decide to enroll in the KDP Select program, these are the restrictions Amazon places on your eBook:
   
   It cannot be on your blog as a subscription or email newsletter opt-in bonus
   No iBooks
   No Nook
   No PDF version with your specific formatting and sexy fonts
   It cannot be distributed anywhere else for 90 days. Keyword: Exclusive.
   
   Royalties
   As the publisher, you determine the price. KDP offers two royalty options: 70% and 35%.
   
   In order to receive 70% royalties for your eBook, you must meet the following criteria:
   
   The price of your eBook must be between $2.99 and $9.99.
   This list price must be at least 20 percent below the lowest physical list price for the physical book.

   Just looking at the limitations we have and writing as I search. Haven't really looked at it before.

   The KDP select program probably should be skipped - there has been a lot of noise about this one and my understanding the royalties come from page-reads.
