That one's a slam dunk, of course. It affects their bottom line.
I wouldn't know why that consideration should outweigh your right to own something indefinitely though.
Anyway, it may be that software licences are that, but the difference when it comes to books (and lots of other products) is that people have always expected to finally own something they buy, as the button in the Kindle store says "buy" and not "lease" this book/cd/etc.
If they were to change the "buy" on that button to "lease", I expect there would be something of a minor outcry.
