Of course they haven't. They're strictly acting as a distribution mechanism, not as a publisher. Nor are they setting themselves up as the arbiter of what's worth reading. But that's nothing new. They've handled POD books from self-publishing venues for a long time. As has always been the case,
caveant lector emptorque (my Latin is a bit rusty, but I
think that's right).
