Everybody knows about pdf; you have to be an e-book aficionado to know about ePub, so ePub might not get mentioned even if it's on there.

We'll know more tomorrow.
If it's really the Kindle DX that gets announced later today, then there would be no reason at all to not mention an important feature such as ePub. So if Amazon doesn't mention ePub, it's because it's not there. And the thing is, are we really wanting a device that has built-in obsolescence with nothing on it for the future? Yes, Mobipocket/AZW is eventually going to become obsolete.
