Note that NIV and NLT are available for the Kindle directly from Zondervan and Tyndale.
P.S. By the way I have had another idea for a parallel Bible on the Kindle. Basically, each translation is separate within one book. However, each verse is hyperlinked to its counterpart in another translation. What do you think?

Thanks for writing to the publishing companies. I know chances are slim, but still I appreciate the effort!
As for your idea - I think it would be helpful, but the biggest benefit (for me atleast) of a parallel is to visually see both versions at the same time. I think that's why the columnar format works well with a parallel. Having a link would switch the view, but I wouldn't be able to compare the versions side-by-side. Just my opinion though.
