I don't know about Amazon's forums, have never used them, but I have noticed any ways in which Amazon has otherwise restricted indies. In fact, they seem to encourage them quite a lot. They are putting some big indie successes into their Thomas and Mercer imprint.
B&N on the other hand... I wouldn't call them indie friendly. They don't want to say no but they have lots of subtle ways of shoving indie authors over to the side.
