The same right that it has to distribute the material in the first place - it's licensed to do so.
The material is copyrighted. Only the copyright owner can ultimatley grant licenses to distribute copies of their work. But the terms of that license is open to negotiation. Amazon can obviously say to its Content Providers, "These are our T&Cs. If you wish to sell through us you must grant us the license to impose these conditions on the end customers".
