The author basically just trusts Amazon not to cheat him or her. I can already hear the howls of outrage if one of the publishers proposed the same scheme.
To be fair, this is basically true of all eBook sales.
If Amazon/Kobo/B&N/... decided to keep all the revenue from a random 5% of eBook sales and not report them to the author, would anyone know?
But neither way of cheating is in Amazon's interests, its business is build on reputation.
