Perhaps, but a) that will be extremely clumsy and inconvenient, b) publishers could easily retaliate by taking their sweet time to release the Amazon ebook (while putting out the iBook right away), c) there could be numerous acounting consequences, and so forth.
Plus, it's bad business to say to your suppliers in one breath that you will abide by the contracts and honor their pricing demands, and then overtly refuse to do so.
