That brings up the question of how much responsibility do they have to ensure that user submitted eBooks do not violate copyright? Amazon is not just hosting the content, they are selling it. I would expect that they would need to do a lot more due diligence to ensure that eBooks they are selling are not unauthorized distributions. Taking something down after the fact is fine for an ISP who can claim safe harbor, but probably not for somebody who is a direct party to commercial infringement.
