Kindle is switching to epub. For example send-to-kindle no longer takes mobi, only epub.

  As a source format for their delivery platform, yes. So far, I haven't seen any evidence that the readers or apps will be getting native ePub capabilities. Even then, ePubs sent to your own account still are treated as second-class books. Most importantly, they are not rendered in the "enhanced typesetting" engine, while Amazon-bought books (often likely from the same source ePub) do get that. It's really hard to interpret this as anything other than making it intentionally hard/annoying to import DRM-free purchases from third-party bookstores.

    Epub sent to your account does have enhanced typesetting on the Scribe.

      Interesting, on my Paperwhite (latest model) and in all of the apps I get legacy typesetting only, even for newly mailed ePubs.
