My point is that Sony was able to add ePub to the PES-500 which is most likely akin to the K1 or K2 and that if Sony can fit in ePub, why can't Amazon fit in KF8?

My other point is that Kobo is not supporting the first two Kobo Readers with new firmware, but all other models are able to run the current firmware.

Amazon is dropping models left and right from getting the new firmware. Everything from the PW3 on down cannot get the new firmware. Given that Amazon has been making changed to KFX, I think this could cause an issue. Imagine you have a PW3 that cannot run 5.12.5 and it turns out that there i some change the KFX in 5.12.5 so these new KFX might not work properly on your PW3.
