That said... you can buy any music you want DRM free these days. So I'm not sure why you are asking the question.

I'm trying to compare functionalities that the iPad does. Music/books.

Your answer tells me that although it is possible to bring Amazon books on the iPad it is very unlikely that one would be able to read them directly on the iBooks reader software without some conversion process and drm removal. So I don't see the comfort of using the Amazon libraries directly to the iPad. The function design and user interface of iBooks is what makes the iPad a worthy reader. So you're better off working translations from your Amazon host computer than on the iPad itself. But that would be my personal preference unless there is something else I don't yet see.
