My read on it is that he's talking about the fact that the Kindle effectively only reads Amazon's proprietary comments. And I'd certainly agree that a firmware update can change that.

The fact that it's easy to get a lot of our own content into mobi and onto the Kindle is certainly a big point in its favor, but if epub takes off (as it seems like it might be starting to do) Kindle will get left behind unless goes with that flow.
