When the Aura 2 and the basic are compared, the Aura 2 is a better device.

I do understand why the Kindles win in these reviews. But it sure ain't because of the basic.
Kindles come out the winner because the reviewers don't understand how to use Kobo. They try to compare like for like and they don't compare Kobo to Kindle properly. Looks at videos from GoodEReader comparing Kobo ro Kindle and this shows a typical reason why the Kindle wins. The configure the Kobo to look like the Kindle and Kobo is better then that.
