Okay. Ask a thousand people in the U.S. if they've heard of Rakuten. Then ask a thousand people around the globe if they've heard of Rakuten. Then ask all those people if they've heard of Amazon.
Amazon also benefits from being known as a bookseller. Royal Dutch Shell is a larger corporation than Amazon, and is likely as well known. But I'm guessing people would not be lining up to buy an ereader from them.

As to how better the Kindle dictionary is depends on what words you are looking up. X-ray (IMHO) is not all that special. Goodreads integration can be OK. Kindle Unlimited can be a mess trying to find something good to read. Yes there are good books, but a lot are dreck.

I don't know that I agree with you, but for the sake of argument, I'll say everything you say is true. That is something you would only find out about after you've purchased a reader and spent time using it. To someone comparing they
sound good and I'd say the same is true for reviewers.
