I don't think that's true. Somebody who is merely hosting material and qualifies for safe harbor can settle for going after a violation when it's brought to their attention. Amazon is directly benefiting from the financial sale of the material, which disqualifies them for safe harbor. According to the law, they seem to be liable for copyright infringement whether or not they remove content after it is brought to their attention. Selling it at all constitutes a violation of the law on their part.
