Yes, if they are formatted in accordance with the Kindle Publishing Guidelines. Fixed layout .mobi files, or more precisely .azw3 files, need to be defined using 3 special mandatory metadata items:

Code:
<meta name="fixed-layout" content="true"/> 
<meta name="original-resolution" content="1024x600"/> 
<meta name="orientation-lock" content="landscape"/>
(Parameters marked in magenta are book-specific.)

However, Amazon's fixed layout syntax is different from Apple's. I.e., the OP cannot easily leverage his iBooks content.
