Of course the writers are going to get paid. You have to BUY the book from Amazon in the first place in order to put it on your kindle. This is about the writers guild wanting to limit what a consumer is allowed to do with the book they have already bought, in order to gain leverage in negotiating contracts with the retailers. It's not a copyright issue, it's a contract negotiation tactic.
