No, you won't be able to do that. You can certainly buy books using your iPhone, but you'd have to read them on the phone too until you got to someplace with WiFi available if your Kindle doesn't have 3G.

Although you can have the books in your Amazon account on multiple devices the books are encoded to each device. Also AFAIK the iPhone's locked in a way that would prevent this anyway (unless it's rooted/jail broken). Even if you could download the book encoded to the Kindle device with Safari and somehow access it with a jailbroken phone I don't believe the iPhone's set up to be a USB host for other devices.
