Amazon already HAS hurt readers/customers. They sold eBooks before the Kindle and when they stopped selling them, they also stopped allowing them to be downloaded to update the DRM. So if anyone needed to download to update the DRM, they were screwed. This was Amazon's fault and not many seem to remember this.
