I think Bezos was pretty shrewd: Amazon already is in business to get a cut from product sales. Kindle allows Amazon to sell more e-books and get a bigger cut from e-book sales, plus the reader itself. And if Kindle takes off, more people will buy e-books, and the publishers will have had someone
else work out the whole e-book thing for them.
The only part of Kindle that I don't like is the DRM'd proprietary format locked onto the Kindle part. (Mind you, that's a big part.) The rest of Amazon's method works for me.
