It depends on what they're going for. If the publisher aspect is just a way to feed into the Kindle store, then you're correct.
But if Amazon is intending to create a true publishing competitor to the incumbents, then it won't work. For the publishing arm to stand on its own merit, it would have to act like a publisher; i.e., try to sell its books via as many channels as possible.
