If you like shopping at Amazon (and a lot of people do) the Kindle makes that REALLY easy and there is value there.

If you expect to be getting most of your content as ePubs (and I'm sure lots of folks do) then devices designed for that do indeed make that easier in an officially supported way.

There are other factors in choosing a reader device too, which may or may not overwhelm that consideration, but those are legitimate differentiators.

There are work-arounds on both sides, but why bother, all else being equal?

To me the biggest advantage of having an epub supported device besides the obvious of checking out books from the library, is taking advantage of specials, coupons, promotions from other ebook stores.
Kobo is just my favorite hands down, they are always shooting out coupons via email. Saves alot of money.
