What may bother Amazon the most is the loss of the ability to discount ebooks, because large stores can do this more effectively than small stores. On the other hand it isn't actually clear that this will be the case (is this really an agency relationship?) and there may be work-arounds (e.g. rebates like Books on Board and FictionWise use).
