They have supported vertical layouts for Japanese in KF8 for a long time. And they just added Enhanced Typesetting for vertical Japanese in a last couple of months, unannounced as far as I can tell.

Well all except for the Kindle for PC and Mac apps. They always seem to leave something unfinished.
