I don't think that's fair. The Kindle UI has some nice features, but the old Nook ST has folders which is superior to Kindle collections. Also it allows custom fonts, unlike the Kindle which no longer does and seems to be going backwards when it comes to user customization. I think the Kobo is also much better for font customization than the new Kindle. The Kindle seems to be going into lock-down.
In fact, the whole issue of Amazon locking down the Kindle fonts is not getting enough air-time. To not allow users to add their own fonts is going way too far. I am not aware of any other e-reader that has ever done that. It is possible to embed fonts, but it's a massive pain and a horrid kludge and and beyond the ability of the vast majority of users.
