Also, with more and more libraries making books available in epub, a Kindle that reads epub would be great. This is obviously not in Amazon's interest, so I can see that they won't rush to upgrade firmware to read epub. But, as Duokan reads epub, it is only a matter of time before some smart guys make an update for reading epub on Kindle.
