That means exactly that. They don't know what they are missing.
Yes, advertising is causing it - in USA everybody knows only Kindle and Nook. And nobody even heard of Sony readers. Also, those who heard, they think (wrongly) that you cannot buy and read Kindle books with T2.
I would not go anywhere near Kindle because it does not have a card slot - deliberately no card slot in all models. That is evil.
But am I correct that you can install Cool Reader on it? Then it perhaps can be salvaged to a certain degree.
I also read serious reviews that all Kindles before PaperWhite had inferior rendering quality compared to Sony. Cool Reader has its own renderer, so perhaps it fixes that problem. But I am not sure.
PaperWhite, finally is on par with T1/T2 in rendering quality, but it has no buttons, it has two additional layers, and perhaps they affect contrast so badly that they keep the light always on. So you see, PaperWhite is out of question too.
On the other hand, rooted T2 is so great. I advised some friends to get it, and they were very happy, then their friends saw it , and they also got it and so on. Throwing Kindles away and getting T2s.
So, again, it is not only my own opinion - confirmed by others whom I personally know.
Perhaps I also don't know what I am missing, but I really don't think so.
And I already have Aura HD - so I experienced first hand how terrible it is without buttons and also that the light is best kept always off.
