Apple provides the infrastructure for the app store. The ebook reader is an app. Apple does not get a percentage of ebooks sold by Amazon via their ebook store. It does get a percentage of all apps sold in the Apple app store. It also gets a percentage of all in app purchases from within the apps, since in-app purchases is a way for "free" apps to make money. Most app developers are very, very happy with that.
