How would Amazon feel if I published an ebook on their site for, say, $5, and then offered the same book on my personal website for $4.50?
The idea is to allow Amazon to market my books and make my pen name well known, and eventually switch to a model that allows me 100% of each sale instead of 70%.

that personal website needs to be pretty well known for that op.

I suppose I'm asking if it's legal.
And I can always add the URL to the "About the Author" page of my books.

I wouldn't say it's illegal, but it's not very sporting.

I don't see why it would be illegal.
You can market the same thing for different prices depending on circumstances.

If you're actually publishing through Amazon, you sign over certain rights, such as the ability to sell or distribute the book through a separate service. This will be spelled out in the publishing contract. There are usually stipulations on when that contract expires (x amount of time, if the book fails to sell x amount of copies, etc). Breach of contract is something they can and will sue you for, on top of dropping you like a hot potato and never publishing anything for you again.
