The reason listing on Amazon etc. is that you can built a review rating that most people will trust. When I see something self-hosted and trumpeting its own positive reviews, unless they are by somebody I know of, I will wonder what the negative aspects are. If you want to build a community etc. through self-hosting, why don't you do both? (Unless the Amazon TOS forbid it, which I can't imagine).
