However, since Amazon is not a party to the lawsuit or the settlement, I can't figure out how the DOJ will enforce that.
The DOJ won't need information from Amazon to enforce breakeven sales. If Amazon sells ebooks at below cost, one of the publishers could file a complaint and provide that information, along with supporting records, to the DOJ.
