It could be that Amazon follows the same publishing model as some of the big Romance publishers and the publishers of various shared universe series, i.e. the writer isn't really all that important. I would be interested to see what the top sellers are for those books that Amazon publishes. I can think of a number of potential authors who could potentially do well. I also wonder how many books published by Amazon follow the self published model rather than the full service published model.
