No.
Apple has made it clear (in banning free apps to print newspaper/magazine subscribers) their intent is to block *access* to content not purchased through their system. If you bought it on a PC, Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or Sony reader they don't want you to access it on the iPxxx.
They have clearly stated that any app that accesses content not purchased via them will be dropped. That is why Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, and Last.FM are all at risk. So is OPDS access and Overdrive. It is not "just" iPxxx purchases that bypasses their system, it is also bringing in content from outside without paying them.
Take them at their word, people.
