That's the real problem here. If Amazon wants to get into the business of letting anybody upload products to them that they'll put up for sale, then they need to verify that they can legally sell each one. Yes, that's going to be a huge amount of work. That's why other retailers don't allow it. It's Amazon's choice to get into that business, but there are going to be some huge costs involved with verifying all of the content.
Then there's no point in doing it and you've closed off one of the few decent avenues open to an ebook self-publisher. The authors and readers all lose out big time. Nope, I think things are fine as is.
