Of course you have access to other stores, just as you do on iPhone (Amazon Kindle for Iphone etc.). The reader apps will need to be re-designed for iTab, but they have at least a couple of months to do that.

I doubt very much Apple will disallow iTab applications that offer access to other bookstores. iBooks app doesn't even come with the device AFAICT.
