Going purely on their technical merits epub IS a better format than mobi, I can't see how any one can refute that. Killing off mobi and supporting epub (with their own brand of drm of course) would make sense for Amazon...

Some people automatically lump ePub with Adobe DRM (and never the twain shall part). It _would_ be insane for Amazon to switch to ADEPT, but as you say, it would be quite sensible for Amazon to switch to ePub.
Just like Apple extended their Fairplay DRM to iBooks, Amazon could apply their existing DRM mechanism to ePubs, and get a better quality product with less work in the bargain.
