I thought this article would make for a good point in not publishing with PA:

With the publishing rights being tied up for seven years I don't see why, if a particular book sparked interest, a big publisher would want to bother with negotiating the rights of a book from PA. If a writer went with lulu or another self-publish company where all rights are retained by the writer, the chance of re-releasing the book through a major house would seem to be much more palatable: to both parties.
