They created a brand that means "search engine" in everyones mind across the globe and in almost every language spoken on the planet. You can't make it mean "books" without eventually undermining "search engine".

Do they have to do everything? They're slowly becoming Microsoft.

Google and amazon will probably fight over licenses because of this.
And I don't see many interesting titles on Google's version, whereas I can find everything on amazon.
