Secondly, even if you choose to use Apple's own "iBooks" app, it supports the industry-standard ePub format, and will read any DRM-free ePub book.

Thirdly, the Kindle format most assuredly IS proprietary.
iBooks is not quite standard. There are a lot of gotchas with it. But, there is Bluefire Reader that does support ePub using ADE. So that will do where iBooks won't.
