The problem is that the quality of books published on Amazon is definitely lower than books published by other publishers. Amazon is making publishing cheaper, meaning there is no longer any quality filter before books are made. So Amazon is creating a lemon market [1], and generally destroying book publishing to make a buck. People THINK Amazon published books are "as good" as publishers books, and therefore lower the income for the good books. The end result will be crap books only.
