In an interview that Len Edgerly did with Amazon's Mike Torres it sounded like it was not a future firmware update and simply a switch that Amazon will throw to enable a feature that is already present in the current software just not activated. Mike said in the interview that if you just leave your book and go back in it might even be activated already.
Don't have it on my Basic (7th gen.) or my wife's Paperwhite yet. Love the Android app Page Flip feature though. The Page Flip feature that is already a part of the Kindle software on the dedicated e-readers is already fine for what it is and on a device with as low res as the Basic Kindle I'm curious to see if the bird's eye view Page Flip is useful in the least bit. Especially without the smooth flowing motion that I have on the Android app when moving up and down through groups of pages which helps me quickly find something from a few pages back, like a chart or whatever.
We shall see.
(Also interesting to note that the basic part of Page Flip (the semi-zoomed out swipe left and right contextual bit) is something that the Play Books app has had for quite a while as well. Useful there too.)
