To the extent they talk about APub (which isn't much) their authors tend to be positive about their support and input. A common one is how open and accomodating editors are. They sound more like old school tradpub editors.

Beyond that, APub only plays in fiction.
NonFiction is a non-issue so any inroads the might make won't change that market.

The one area where they are genuinely changing the market is in translations.
They already the largest in the US and growing steadily. Some months FIRST READS will feature two translated books out of six.
