That is because technically speaking, Amazon doesn't directly sell those ebooks. Way it used to be, is they would more or less buy copies from the publisher, and sell those. How it is with some now, is that things are more or less a commission sale. Amazon provides the store front, the resources, etc to sell things that the publisher owns.

If only that was the case. Only people making money from the piracy of digital goods, is the lawyers who work for the RIAA and MPAA.
