I doubt this will be the same type of "publishing" platform that Amazon will be launching.

If I had to place I bet, I'd say it will be self-publishing with the option to purchase editing/formatting services. Many self-published authors contract freelancers to do this work for them, but I'm guessing that Kobo will begin to offer these services for a fee. And hopefully it will be completely optional. I could be wrong, but I'd be surprised if it was a locked-in publishing deal.
