Is KDP Select/KU just a backdoor path to Amazon monopoly?

Have any authors done comparisons between publishing wide (maybe Draft2Digital/Kobo Plus VS KDP/KDP Select) for initial releases?

I know some authors just pick one thing and stick with it. And some genre's are almost exclusively KDP Select these days.

Interested to know if it is such a vastly different market share for your genre that it isn't worth it. And if it is worrying that your exclusivity benefits Bezos.

Most of my #books are coming out of #KDPSelect this week. As such, all of my 1st in series and some short stories will then be free on multiple platforms, but not #Amazon, unless someone decides to invoke price matching (I won't because it is a massive hassle). But if you want them on #Kindle, a whole bunch are free today and tomorrow: http://Author.to/CMcMullen

It's curious to me that whenever I uncheck the box to re-enroll in #KDPSelect I suddenly get a bunch of page reads where there hadn't been any prior.
Of course, Amazon is now offering Prime members 3 months of KU (likely to make them forget about the price hikes and ads) so maybe I'll get lucky and have a small boost before I go wide.
