Separate business, though.
APub acts like a tradpub because it *is* a tradpub. And run separately from the retailer, Amazon, LLC.
Amazon is a conglomerate.
APub is as distinct and separate from the retailers as AWS, Lab126, Audible, Zappos, and Kiva.
Each unit sets its own rules and guidelines so what Audible does does not necessarily indicate how KDP or KU is going to act. Each unit is expected to grow its business and meet its own market head on.
