It is because they have the best store and the best collection of free or cheap books.

In terms of book organization and maybe available fonts, I think Sony is the best ereader.
However, getting an eink device that is not Kindle, and later buy books from Amazon, it is not a wise decision, in my humble opinion.
Taking the ethical matter out of the conversation, breaking the DRM encryption it's illegal in USA. Also, you won't be able to sync books across devices, which in my opinion is one of the best features.
We're not talking about simple Calibre conversion, but breaking an encryption pattern that can be changed at anytime.
So on my particular case I am willing to sacrifice book's organization and fonts, for not having to break DRM encription each time I buy a book. Plus keeping the ability to sync across devices.
Of course, still we have iPad and Android tablets, but that's another story and those are tablets not eink devices.
