In regard to hardware, Nook has frequently
outstripped Kindle, e.g., frontlight, waterproofing, a 7.8" device. (Kindle's premium device is significantly smaller than their competitors'
and significantly more expensive. Value matters.) I know people have their preferences; I do, too, but why not acknowledge where competitors have the advantage? I personally think that Kindle tends to use both Kobo and Nook as cheap market research; they wait to see what sticks before developing an in-house version.
It's a headscratcher for me. I get people thinking that Kindle is subjectively best and I even get where people think that Kindle is objectively best, but I really do not understand the position that says that Kindle is always best in every respect.
