It is tragic that, having integrated the Adobe Reader Mobile SDK, they have chosen not to support ePub and ACS4 at the same time. Perhaps there is some technical reason for this (their server infrastructure might need more time to accommodate it...), but since Amazon didn't take the opportunity now to say that they are working on this part, one has to assume the reasons are not technical.
