Letting the Kindle read ePub books would entirely defeat the purpose of the exercise, which is to bring business to Amazon's e-book store.
It is "whatever" part that is a problem. You certainly can not read Amazon ebooks on any other eInk reader, unless the device is exclusively tied into the Amazon DRM scheme.
