The answer is rather simple: amazonPoD does not accept publishers as client.

You may think of it as you like, but I assume they do not want to enter proper legal contracts with educated counterparts. When searching for the a legal entity representing amazon-PoD, I was not successful.

And there are some reasons as usage rights of copyright may not have been granted forever but with limitation (time, number of printing, region…). If you obey to these you cannot simply put everything on PoD.
Same for electronic editions, if usage of copyright is not agreed it is not allowed to publish it.
