Short answer: Amazon does not own your apps.

Long answer: Amazon does have a right to continue selling/distributing any apps you have provided to it for the duration of the "Term".

So, this all depends on how the "Term" is defined in the developer agreement.

Sadly it appears so.

I had a very emphatic "Either cancel your contract, or keep your apps on the store" response from their helpdesk yesterday.

This is a shame, such heavy handed tactics will keep myself and a great many other developers (see billswifts link below) away from their store.
