Simple answer: No.
Not-so-simple answer: Amazon's books are in the .mobi format (or maybe it's kf8 now?) while the rest of the world uses epub. They aren't cross compatible without conversion. Typically, a reader that reads epub won't read mobi. Tablets are the exception, but you need different apps for each eco-system.
