Kindle app/books on the iPad

So Amazon has committed to putting Kindle books on the iPad, I assume through the iPhone app they already have available. This is great, as I have a certain amount of money invested in Kindle books. However I have to wonder about the other consent-ee in this equation, Apple. Typically they have rejected apps that duplicate built-in functionality by policy. Will they grandfather the Kindle app now that they are adding an eReader app? There is some precedence, for instance the Recorder app is still available, even though Apple added one during a major platform upgrade. Here’s hoping!
