The only reason, which seems sufficient to me: all my books are EPUB except a handful of PDFs. I would rather avoid the delay of the auto-conversion from EPUB to AZW3, while keeping most of my books as EPUB. It's KISSier that way.

I'm not going to convert all my books to AZW3 just to read them on Kindle for a couple years, until Amazon comes out with AZWx and then have to reconvert them all again, then a couple years later convert them all to AZWy....

Rather just read 'em as EPUB, no further conversion required, no muss, no fuss, at least for awhile.
