Interesting idea, and would definitely a big gamble on their part.
I noticed that many ebooks on Amazon list the publisher as the seller. Some do, some don't. But if you bought it from the publisher, it seems like they should honor that license across platforms. I guess they could claim that you only bought a license for the Kindle format version, but I hear that the original file from the publisher is epub, and Amazon converts.
A proof of purchase verification system would need to be set up, naturally. But that should just be a matter of your name and contact info matching the Amazon sale. Of course there could be problems here that I'm not considering.
