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.

They seem to be cherry picking writers with a proven sales history at the moment. Everything else can easily be farmed out on a job by job basis. Some of the bigger name writers might even drag along their own preferred editor and cover artist, etc.
