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.

I would agree with that. Although, I'm not sure of the downside... especially if you have a Kindle and have built up a decent size Kindle library.
Of course, if you aren't new to eBooks this is pretty much true of any library you might have built up of DRMed ebooks... whether at the Sony store, fictionwise.com, BooksOnBoard.com, eReader.com or Kobo also.
At least you keep access to pretty much any of these libraries with the iPad and the correct software... Either Kindle for iPad or B&N Reader for iPad, or txtrReader.. (we hope a better app will come that supports Adobe DRM than txtR.

See my comment above for the "comfort" or reason you would use the Kindle App or other rather than iBooks.
