  <p>I should be able to use services like scribd/oyster then. Is my understanding correct?</p>

  It doesn't have to directly support it.
  
  My thinking is:
  
  * If Kindle support the epub format
  * Scribd offers epub
  * There's software out there like Calibre that can convert between formats
  
  I should be able to use services like scribd/oyster then. Is my understanding correct?

  Theoretically you are right, and as @username_3 said you could use a software to transform one format into the other. This has nothing to do with Scribd or Oyster. **But** you will be getting problems at converting when those ebooks are provided with an DRM.
