Amazon's Kindle ecosystem is completely proprietary. I find it to be extremely unlikely that they would agree to make any of their books available via an outside app. It is more likely that they would allow borrows made using SimplyE to be fulfilled on amazon.com for reading using Kindle apps/devices, as is currently done by OverDrive in the US.
