No Negotiating Allowed
If they never get around to publishing a hardcover or enhanced media, or if they only publish in English, does the contract contain language reverting those rights to the author in a timely fashion? If not, authors stand to lose money they could have made by self-publishing or offering the rights to another publisher. Unfortunately, these only specify that Amazon will publish in hardcover, paperback, ebook Kindle only, right? This rule alone is a deal-breaker for me. In six months my manuscript could reach a dozen or more agents or editors who might be interested in publishing it. Or I could publish it myself. Then what?
