I think you're right they were gearing up to sell books. I think that would have been an interesting and tricky transition in itself. Many people would be just as upset with a social site turning into a bookseller as are upset with the Amazon takeover. In any case I think GR needed to cash out and taking the Amazon money was clearly an easier route to do that.
