The "support" you talk of is an outside thing, it is a service provided by Amazon that is completely separate from the device itself. The device knows nothing - zilch - about the formats it supposedly "supports through conversion". If Amazon starts charging for the service, limits it only to books purchased from Amazon, or drops it entirely - could it still be said that the device "supports the format"? Can you sideload a book in this "supported format"? No. Because the device does not actually support the format, except through the magic of misleading marketing jargon.

I disagree with you both that there is absolutely no difference whatsoever regarding EPUB and every other format not natively supported on kindles.

You might as well say synching across devices is not supported because the devices don't do it among themselves without involving amazon.
