Tesco's regularly sell the Kindles for £10 or £15 less than Amazon. Most people won't buy a Kindle from Waterstones - they can buy a Kindle anywhere and at cheaper prices, so even if they get a 50% cut its still poor income if they don't sell any.

Most of the money is to be made in the ebook sales and all of that will be going straight to Amazon, unless they somehow get a cut from Amazon downloads in Waterstones stores.
