The short answer is because they're Kindle and the media don't pay attention to anyone else to realize it's not a novel new concept. There are lots of things that Kindles do poorly that boogles the minds of users of other brands that Kindle doesn't seem to care about (i.e. a massive number of size settings rather than the limited number on Kindle). Really this is very typical of the big leader brand in any industry. When they finally add a new feature it's the greatest thing since sliced bread even if their competitors have done it for years.
