Amazon's already invested a lot in the Android platform with the Amazon Appstore and all the other assorted Amazon Android apps. Considering that migrating to WebOS would require Amazon to:
(a) actually obtain the rights to WebOS (whereas Android they can just fork a version from git),
(b) retool all their existing app infrastructure to support WebOS, and
(c) promoting WebOS to developers when probably the only WebOS device that would be available to them would be the new Kindle and the fire-saled Touchpads,
I don't really see them moving to WebOS, or away from Android in general, anytime soon.
