If Kindle starts supporting epub through a firmware upgrade, I'll save on one step.

If the current Kindle won't support epub ever, but future Kindles do, it still won't be the one single reason that convinces me to upgrade. The actual hardware improvements, colour e-ink, the affordability - those will be the factors I'll consider.

In short, I'm not losing sleep over Kindle not supporting epub.
Since the PRS-500 can support ePub via ADE, there is no reason ALL of the Kindles cannot support ePub.
