I don't see how branching out into selling music and videos is going to help their bottom line any, everyone agrees that margins on music and videos are MUCH smaller than the already slim margins on books.

Besides generating PR and adding a few billion overnight to their market cap, how does this fundamentally make them a more profitable company?
