I don't suggest that older Kindles will get new firmware, just that future models of Kindle will be able to render ePub format.
If a book that's only been submitted in ePub format is transferred to an older Kindle, I'd expect that Amazon would do an auto-conversion to Mobipocket. They already have the software to do that pretty well. The vast majority of customers don't copy files between Kindles, they just download again from the Amazon servers.

Has Amazon done anything to lead you to believe they're ready to join the ePub religion? Their roundabout way of offering library books suggests just the opposite: entrenchment. Again, there's no sound economic reason for Amazon to switch to ePub.
I believe we are at an impasse.
