They already have that now! I see so many posts online about "Kindles now supporting ePub" but really it's just their Send to Kindle feature. It's arguably more confusing because it doesn't work over USB and can easily do a really poor job. Adding support for DRM Free ePub wouldn't change much and might actually lower support calls because customers won't be confused by why that book they emailed to the Kindle worked but not the one they dragged over.

Amazon already muddies the water by saying on their specs page "HTML DOC, DOCX, JPEG, GIF, PNG, PMP, EPUB, TXT, RTF through conversion." Which is a bit silly because presumably everything "works" if you convert it before hand.
