Don't forget, Amazon has already made history as a company that saw beyond next week... in fact, while every get-rich-quick site flared and died during the dot-com boom, Amazon trucked along, not even making a dime in profit, for years until they finally caught on. If anyone has the ability to see (and stick to) the long-term picture, it's Amazon.
That said, although e-books are the future, I don't know about the Kindle specifically. I would've thought Amazon would be happy providing Mobi content, or even multiple formats, and let the readers worry about what they read 'em on.
But then, I'm not Amazon.
