Cannot buy this series in ebook, only audio book?
Have been reading the Point Of Impact by kyla stone, but seems it's only available in audio format on kobo. Seeks don't have as many books as Amazon, so still locked into Amazon for this series.
I did remove the DRM and transfered my kindle books over, but to finish the series locked into needing it from Amazon and removing DRM with Calibra to send to Clara |

If the books are in Kindle Unlimited, they'll be available only at Amazon.

Think the only thing I will keep my kindle for is it's serial number and buy from Amazon, and download drm free to my clara, so till I finish this series am still stuck with amazon

Seen this a couple times. As Sirtel mentioned, it's that pesky Kindle Unlimited exclusivity clause.
Several of Andre Norton's Witch World collections went on sale recently, and so I grabbed them. Then I decided I wanted to read the original (before starting the various spin-off cycles), but could only find it as an audiobook on Kobo. A quick search on Amazon showed why: https://www.amazon.com/Witch-World-S...dp/B078K2D1B4/ Kindle Unlimited strikes again! |

Not all books on Kindle Unlimited are exclusive. There are some that are only on KU in the US but not the UK. Also, there are some books such as Harry Potter that are on KU but also available elsewhere.
There are some Orson Scott Card books that are on KU in the US but not in the Uk and they are not exclusive to Amazon. |

Larger publishers can be not-exclusive if on KU. KDP users on KU are always exclusive.
