Given that Amazon's entire business model is based on having as little human interaction as possible with both customers and vendors, I'm skeptical as to how successful they'll be at publishing.
I seriously doubt Amazon is getting into the nuts and bolts of publishing a book--they'll go through existing book packagers for production.
