It's not really strange at all. It all comes down to what you personally think is important in an eink device. For me it's that I can make the text look exactly like I want it to - correct font-size in all conditions, text nice and dark, use of any font I want so it looks and feels like a 'real' book, good even lighting. Plus excellent integration with calibre for automatic Collections and transfer of metadata including cover thumbnails. Those are all things that some Kindle owners frequently complain about, but admittedly not much help if none of them are important to you.
Personally I don't care at all about annotations and PDFs. If I cared about annotations and tiny footnote hyperlinks and pop-up footnotes I'd make sure I was using calibre to send my epubs to the Kobo as kepubs using
this calibre plugin, because the touchscreen sensitivity is better in kepubs. If I cared about PDFs I'd be looking at installing koreader which, from my brief flirtation with it ages ago, is a better PDF reader than the Kobo default.
