I'm sorry that I've not had time yet to read all this thread, but I get the drift -- and it's quite right that Kindle is being used as a vanity press tool by authors who've been through no selection process (quality control) and are too bad/broke/arrogant to accept professional editorial intervention.
On the other hand, legitimate publishing houses like my own in Europe, cannot offer books for Kindle because Amazon -- the laziest, most bullying, greediest enterprise in cyberspace -- insist on a US presence with tax and social security numbers. We could bend a few rules to do that and open a fake office, but I'm not in the game of making life cushy for Amazonians.
