I don't expect Amazon to ever pick up the epub format. Or at least, not in the next couple of years, and if they do, I don't expect them to issue firmware updates that work on the older devices; the base OS may not be that flexible. Amazon is big enough to push its walled-garden approach, and epub quality in other places isn't consistent enough to challenge that right now.
I'm certain they'll be working on the tag/collection features; mainstream, buy-them-all-new readers want those improved.
My daughter has a Kindle, and I can't pry her away from fanfiction.net long enough to load actual books on it. She's not interested in shippy fic, which makes most of AO3 useless to her. And she doesn't like how the headers for AO3 come out on the Kindle. But she loooooves fanfic on the ebook reader.
(And if you get tired of waiting for epub/library support, you can install Python and get the crack scripts to be able to convert DRM'd epubs so you can read them.)
