If amazon pulls their app, they lose a potential market. 30% less on a sale is still much, much better than no sale at all.
It's not a sale if Amazon loses money on it. Given Agency Pricing and Apple's 30% tax I don't see how they can sell books profitably. And if they can't make money they'll exit the market.
