Because they don't believe in doing their competition's market research for them.
To paraphrase: why are the "friggin" numbers so important?
Amazon has achieved one important thing: they've made ebooks mainstream.
There's no going back on that. The rest...? (shrug)
Why should we care what one big corporation does to another?
Do they offer an acceptable product at an acceptable price?
Do they support it and sustain it?
Then, who cares if they sell 3 million or 5 million?
Really, what difference does it make to *us*?
