You did read the words that I have bolded in the quote from @Quoth's post? Once books were important to Amazon, now they make up a very small share of Amazon's revenue. If management was to decide to get out of the book business, the effect on Amazon as a whole would be minimal.

Amazon just might decide to jump off the Red Queen's racetrack when it comes to trying to stay ahead of the people busily breakinging their DRM. That there are now commercial implementations of DRM removal might make that decision even easier.
