I'm not so sure.
Technically, I don't think that Amazon can take over. They just aren't set up to handle epubs, so they'd have to keep a B&N site up, indefinitely, to serve ebooks to people that have already bought them.
From a legal point of view, Apple is now has sufficient market share that Amazon isn't the vast monopoly that it used to be. And what other American ebook company can B&N sell to? Kobo is Canadian.
And there may be a situation where no one wants B&N.
