Abstract: As was shown recently by the authors, the entropy power inequality can be reversed for independent summands with sufficiently concave densities, when the distributions of the summands are put in a special position. In this note it is proved that reversibility is impossible over the whole class of convex probability distributions. Related phenomena for identically distributed summands are also discussed.
