Okay, let's stipulate that the personal aspect needs to be kept out of it.
What we're left with is that the objective fact that the kindle does not offer any of the typography features that their competitors do, and therefore cannot claim to have the best typography. This stands true regardless of the inherent quality of the new kindle typography for the simple reason that the wealth of settings on the kobo* permit it to approximate/replicate the so called 'best in class' kindle typography, but the reverse is not necessarily true.
* I specify only the kobo because I am not familiar enough with the other brands.
