More likely, if anything, is that they would be required to provide it to the DoJ, who would then just confirm or not general statements like whether the ebook business is profitable or not.
I'd expect some bits of information to be entered in the public record, but for those to be fairly limited and filtered. Percentage of increase or decrease of sales at certain prices might be released; number of ebooks available might be released; that kind of thing. But yeah, I don't expect any notable amount of Amazon's business history to become public information.
