Loyal Amazon marketeers likely want to increase the amount you pay for eBooks by getting you to buy more books. As far as I can tell, they don't worry themselves about the quality of the books, or even if they are long enough to be more than a short story.
Big publishers are trying to come up with books you and I want to read. That's in my interest as as a library borrower and used book buyer, just as it is in your interest as a buyer of current eBooks.

And one -- the big publishers -- seems to be a whole lot more concerned than the other over whether the books they publish will be greatly liked by readers.
