Amazon are providing the sales platform (Kindle, Kindle for PC), and their website and brand name are significant factors. These are things Macmillian are unwilling for the first and unable for the second to duplicate.
Honestly, if I'd been Amazon I'd of taken a more subtle approach. Macmillian print books would of been excluded from "similar" lists (including by the same author and "people who bought this also bought..."), discounts and free shipping (including prime) rather than pulled directly. These are things directly in Amazon's control to offer or not, after all...
