You are comparing apples to oranges. The apple devices are tablets, not ereaders. Tablets, of any kind really, make reading .pdf files and books with illustrations and/or instructions (like cooking) way easier than using an ereader, IMHO.
When I bought my Mom a first gen. paperwhite, I also bought her a cover that puts it into sleep mode automatically. When you open the cover, it lights up on its own. Not important to me, but perhaps to you.
