Debating whether to keep my books in KDP Select or go wide with Draft2Digital and others. The page reads are nice but exclusivity feels limiting. What strategy works for you?

I went wide after 2 years in Select. Lost some page reads but the diversification feels safer long term.

For low content stay in Select. For fiction consider going wide after you have a backlist. The borrows help discoverability early on.
