Amazon is, above all, a book seller. By supporting other ereaders, they would make their market wider, and that would be good for their business. I see the Kindle as another way to make people buy books. I don't think Amazon needs to max out their Kindle sales, if that means narrowing their potential book buyers.
The only reason why they don't sell for other ereaders is because, right now, the ebook readers are fairly new. If they can monopolize ereader sales as well as ebooks sales, great. If not, then they can just focus in their primary mission: sell the books. For now, Amazon will still give it a shot and try both.
