>Just like traditional publishers, Amazon has a vested interest in the success of your book
They have an interest in the success of books - in general.
But just like any publisher they will only spend time, money, space promoting their author that will sell the most.
The danger with amazon is that when they become the only publisher in the world there is only one promoted author. Once they have 'their' JK Rowling or Tom Clancy it is not in their interest to promote an alternative one. At least with traditional publishers there is competition.
