That sort of says to me that you are arguing for an "either-or" scenario. Instead, it seems to me that sales should increase, with combined pbook and ebook sales. Amazon is entitled to as high of a percentage as it can get. Publishers know that the powerhouse selling machine that is Amazon will help them make up the cost of doing business with them in increased volume of sales. It is win-win.
