Walmart crappy handling of Kobo, Microsoft's there-and-gone-again bookstore and B&N's Nook in general show that the real reason Amazon doesn't have competition is that none of the competitors truly cares about ebooks.

Still its going to be tough to put a dent in Amazon's market share with the new refreshed Kindle Basic and Paperwhite.

Hardware-wise, I think the Glowlight 3 is nicer than the new Paperwhite. Kindle doesn't have the best hardware. But they have very good software and a currently unbeatable ecosystem.
