Most likely the costs outweigh the benefits. If Amazon's bottom line isn't greatly affected, it will likely be a low priority for them. So as long as the cracked books don't start showing up on the darknet in large numbers, and they don't start losing sales because of that, I don't see them spending lots of time on a fix.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised of they saw a slight uptick in sales due to non-Kindle owners buying Kindle books to read on other devices.

Exactly which would be the case as well with NO DRM.
