To answer your question specifically, no, the PW cannot read ePubs without converting.
Yeah, I am aware that Calibre does an automatical conversion. But it is a waste of time and sometimes the format is not the same as it was with the original book.

But honestly, converting with Calibre is so easy that there's no point. I'm a little puzzled, though; did you not know that the Kindle wouldn't read ePub files when you bought it?
I did know Kindle couldn't read epubs, but the Kindle was the only decent reader I could buy here...

So should I install an alternate firmware? Where can I get more information about that?
