They might make epub readers attractive enough that you get a better deal than with a Kindle. They could for example give out an coupon for buying ebooks from Waterstones with each ereader.

Waterstones sell kindles and, rather bizarrely, epubs.
It used to be that they sold epub readers. I still think they are shooting themselves in the foot in the long term, the loss of business to amazon will surely cost more than the referral fees they gain.
