My issue is with "they will be able to read natively ePub" in your post and the similar statement from the article you linked originally (translated to English), "By the end of the year, therefore, Kindles will be able to support .EPUB files and treat them like all other formats supported by the reader." These statements both imply a change to Kindle devices to add EPUB support.

That is not what the post by Amazon says. It states that send-to-kindle using email now accepts EPUB and the send-to-kindle app will also do so later this year. Since sending EPUBS via email is already supported you can see how it works. Amazon converts the EPUB using their kindlegen program and delivers the personal document in a kindle format, usually KF8.

If EPUB files were being natively supported on kindle devices that would be a much major change. You would be also to sideload EPUBS via USB for reading. There is no indication that that is ever going to be allowed by Amazon.
