I think its possible and even likely that Amazon may not allow any other bookstore apps on its tablet, for example. But it will be OK with allowing people to buy the aps in their store for installatiion on OTHER tablets.

1- Amazon is also going after the crowd who thinks $500 is too much to pay for a tablet.
2- Amazon already does this; except for Kobo, which is in the appstore. And it's pretty much a given that their tablet will be locked in and that other tablets will be allowed in. After all, Amazon is content driven; and you can't sell content if you turn customers away.
