A little digging, it seems
Amazon Shorts was discontinued as of June 2010. The Singles program seems to be a revamped souped-up version.

Amazon Shorts is an innovative program for readers to access short fiction and nonfiction of about 2,000-10,000 words from a large library of writers. Downloads are available in HTML, PDF or plain text format and are always saved in Your Media Library for future use. In addition, you can print out Amazon Shorts for future reading at your leisure.

Dear Amazon Shorts Author:
We appreciate your client’s participation in Amazon Shorts. As you know, Amazon Shorts launched prior to the release of the Amazon Kindle and our Digital Text Platform (DTP). Due to these technology changes, we are discontinuing the Shorts program effective June 1, 2010. At that time, all Amazon Shorts will be removed from sale and distribution rights will revert back to the authors. We very much want to continue to offer your client’s Shorts to Amazon Kindle customers. Below you will find the steps for transitioning your client’s Shorts to our Kindle platform so that customers can continue to buy and read this work.
