There are at least two ways of doing this:

1. Go the Home page. Select a book. Move the 5-way to right - this will take you to the book's summary menu. If you see a menu item "Book Description", then this is an Amazon book. If not, it is non-Amazon.

2. Connect the Kindle to a PC or Mac. The Kindle will appear as a disk drive in Windows Explorer or equivalent. Navigate to the Document folder and view a list of your books. If the filename has the extension AZW, it's an Amazon book. If there's no AZW file, it's non-Amazon.

Note that this is based on my own experiments, and I can't guarantee they're correct. I would think the second option is more reliable. I've not got any books that I've purchased other than from Amazon (as opposed to downloaded from free sites), so I can't say how they will show up in the summary menu.

Hope this helps.
