They definitely have there issues, but so does self-publishing. There is room for both in the market.
Yep. Given that Amazon likes to squeeze the suppliers, you can bet that the individual self publishers would get squeezed big time.

The elephant in the room is that most readers don't want to read through the slush pile. They want books of a known quality. That is basically what publishers bring to the table, from a consumer's point of view.
