They do self-publishing. It costs them practically nothing and the author pays a fee. It's not as if Nile chose to publish or list it in particular. It's probably entirely automated at this point.

And by listing it for a fee from the author, they are making money off the book.

Right, but they list every book 'for the money.' Their actions with this book are not, at present, any different from any other book. So claiming that this book in particular was listed for the sake of making money and causing a ruckus is disingenuous.
