Kindles do not (and probably will never) support EPUB. If you email an EPUB it is converted to a Kindle format by Amazon’s servers and delivered as either a MOBI or KF8 (azw3) file.

If you have an EPUB that is too big to email you can convert it yourself (using calibre or Amazon’s Kindle Previewer) and sideload via USB or the Kindle browser.
