Hello Jacque,
Hummm.... I may well be wrong, but I don't think so.

I became an Amazon e-book customer because the KIndle reader
application for my original iPhone is better than anything else I've
tried. I also now own a Kindle 2, but a large portion of my library
was purchased for reading on the iPhone beforehand, and I've never
heard of the purchasing option that you mentioned.

I do know for certainty that PDF's and e-books of other formats can be
emailed to a user account to be converted to work with the Kindle, as
long as there isn't any DRM content involved.  Unless you are correct,
that means folks that own Amazon based e-book content will be forced
to purchase Kindle hardware, should Amazon not decide to toe the line
with Apple's demands.
