Amazon could pretty easily add ePub to the list of formats that are supported by their conversion service (via email to 'mykindle@kindle.com'). They would not have to change any Kindle software or web UI (beyond an update to documentation). I keep sending this suggestion to kindle-feedback@amazon.com, but for some reason they don't do everything that I suggest to them, as brilliant and obvious as these suggestions often are.

Personally I would not want native ePub support on Kindle unless it also supported Adobe DRM. What would be the point?
