Signed is not notarized.
Notarized means the person's identity has been verified by an authorized, neutral third party. Filling out a set of numbers is meaningless if those numbers can just be fake.
Amazon should be working with stronger contracts than "I promise this info is true, signed Anon Anybody"--since they're distributing to third parties and grabbing a profit from the activity, they should be actually verifying at least some of the info before publishing.
