Amazon is a distributor, not a publisher. But I wouldn't be surprised to see them target successful indie authors for long-term distribution deals in the future. Otherwise, a lot of their best authors might go the way of Amanda Hocking -- straight to traditional publishing.

And yeah... a lot of the major authors (in speculative fiction, at least -- I'm not as familiar with other genres) are contractually required to let their current publisher have first dibs on the next book.
