Amazon's selection just seems more polished, organized and developed than any other retailer, such as their large selection of genre-oriented bundles. As far as popular modern literature goes, the retailers seem comparable in price and selection. I don't know how they compare in sheer quantity of titles.
I also prefer Amazon's site layout and organization. So much so that if I didn't have a Kindle I would probably browse Amazon first and then do a manual search elsewhere. I'm addicted to the scrolling list of similar books.
I don't think the difference between retailers and available sources is big enough that someone should pass up an ereader they have a strong preference for; but as someone who prefers the Kindle device-wise, I like Amazon's site so much that another ereader would have to be clearly superior in every way (per my tastes) for me to consider it.
