A better book than the one you have recommended is the Glorious Quran
Here is what the Quran says in reply to your question about interest being profit.
Surah Al-Baqarah Verse 275
Those who eat Riba will not stand (on the day of judgement) except as a person beaten by Shaitan leading him to insanity. That is because they say "TRADING IS ONLY LIKE RIBA" where as Allah has permitted trading and forbidden Riba.
So whoever recieves an admonition from his Lord and stops eating Riba shall not be punished for the past as his case is for Allah and whoever returns to Riba, such are the dwellers of the fire, they will abide there in forever.
Islamic banking is a way past the problem of Riba. Lets give it a try and if it doesn't work than on the day of judgement we can say that the Riba we took was the only way for us. But first lets give the way which is clearly islamic a try.
