You seem to be making a very big assumption that the significant percentage of Amazon ebook sales/loans are being read on Kindle eInk devices. That seems to disagree with several items I've seen when >75-80% of ebooks are read on smartphones, iOS and Android tablets & other devices. One I saw from 2024 seems to indicate that eInk devices were used to read <10% of ebooks.
You may also want to consider that the current statistics indicate the publishers sell 4 pbooks for every ebook.
And for a touch of humour, one site that seemed to used BadeReader as their main data source had the following line:
