There are also problems with the compensation of a lot of the small press / self published authors, and their exclusivity requirements. Especially for e-books.
I'm glad that it is working for your friend.

Not sure what you’re talking about here. My friend is self-published with his Kindle books with no problems. He later used CreateSpace for hard copies, and Amazon like his sales so much that they paid a stipend to have them converted to audiobooks.
What compensation problems are you talking about? And normally the only problem with exclusivity is the Kindle Unlimited Program. Which you do not have to join.
The Unlimited Program has been very good for some and very bad for others. But you do not have to join, and can drop out after your time is up.
