The problem with all these prejudices is they eliminate a lot of really good choices from consideration. I'm glad I have both kinds of devices and read books in both formats but if I could only have one it would absolutely be a Kindle, probably my Voyage although I'd be just as happy if it was my Paperwhite.
It's not always just about what formats of books can be put on the device. The OP said "flexible in terms of what the user can do with it", which is a lot broader. Kindle is locking down jailbreaks and reducing that flexibility.
