I am just about to do the soft launch of my book and I'll be mainly e-publishing it. I have looked at the pros and cons of joining the KDP Select program but I still can't work out if I should do it or not.

I understand about getting access to the extra features, countdowns, discounts and promotions, etc. However, I'm wondering if the 90-day exclusivity will come back to haunt me. That feels like a long time to not be able to sell my book on my own website or anywhere else for that matter. But on the other hand, I can just set and forget as I work on my next book.

So, as the title says, I want to know if other authorpreneurs have gone this route with their first, or indeed any of their books and what they feel about the whole shebang.
