Because although you could indeed buy a Kindle if you don't live in the US, Amazon have made it virtually impossible to buy commercial e-Books for it. You can't buy Kindle books unless you have a credit card with a US billing address. With a Sony or a CyBook (or an iLiad), however, you can easily buy books regardless of where in the world you live.
I know there are sources of books other than Amazon, but I'm sure that you'll agree that one of the major attractions of the Kindle is the Amazon bookstore.
