That's not been my observation. Surveys mentioned on Digital Book Daily suggest that more people read e-books on the iPad than they do on an Amazon tablet, and that they tend to buy their books from Amazon.
That's validated by acquaintances who are (literally) giving up their print library as they move into a new house, having all three (parents and teenager) committed themselves entirely to e-books read on their iPads -- and purchased from the Kindle store.
I can't know of course what portion of my Kindle sales are to those trapped in IOS, and I do know another lady who simply cannot manage to install the Kindle app on her iPad but instead falls back to reading my e-books on the Cloud reader.
I also sell a fair number of epubs on the Apple iBookstore -- more in recent months, in fact, than I sell on Barnes & Noble.
