If Amazon had any common sense they'd realize that they're not a book store any more, so spin off the books subsidiary as a going concern with a separate online store. (Have physical paper product despatched via the existing fulfilment network—it's just a distribution channel.)
But I'm not sure boosting book sales is on their radar any more.
