Yes, I have been calling for something similar for a few years now :)
The real question is DRM; I assume that you are not talking about moving books bought on Amazon because those can't be transferred by memory card. In fact, the Kindle app is really the only tool for viewing and syncing purchased content.
For me, any tablet I have contains the Adobe app (or Bluefire app) for storing Adobe DRM stuff, the Kindle app (for storing Kindle DRM stuff) and the Google app (for storing epubs -- encrypted and nonencrypted).
That means you are going to be spreading your content into three different apps.
I don't think there is a way to export your metadata from one library management system into another, especially if you are talking about encrypted stuff.
It's possible to use the same app for encrypted PDF and epub (like the Adobe Digital Editions). But I think it's still better to keep pdfs and epubs on separate apps.
One solution (a not-so-good one) is to keep your metadata on librarything or goodreads. But you'd have to input data manually. I know more about librarything, and know that you can store your inventory spreadsheets which you can sync via Dropbox. But you need to manually generate the spreadsheet each time.
If a solution comes which will bridge the gap between Amazon and the other digital book sellers, I expect that several big publishers would work together to make a central ebook management app which can display titles in each DRM universe and then launch the correct app if you want to open a certain ebook up. But it's unlikely that Amazon would allow personal ebook inventory to be listed by a third party application, if only for privacy reasons.
Until that happens (I think we will be stuck with several apps with their own DRM and syncing mechanism).
