I would think an alternate approach would be to contact the authors (through contact info on Amazon or google them to find their blog or facebook or twitter) and request that they offer their books on other vendors that provide Epub format -- there are plenty of choices: Smashwords, B&N, Kobo, Itunes. Authors can create and offer your files through DriveThruFiction or Gumroad, too.
Smashwords and Gumroad are nice because they sell worldwide and allow customers to direct download the files to their devices instead of requiring a proprietary reader program or app.
Many authors stick to Amazon because it is easy and it is the dominant player. If they realize that being exclusive with just one vendor is costing them money, they may think about diversifying to other retailers.
