The Nia has certainly a much better screen than the older Basic and Kindle is terrible for sideloaded covers, collections, series and annotations. Amazon's series info is erratic and can't be over-written without a jailbreak. Also Amazon's Kindle is too Amazon Server centric (so called Cloud).
The main Kindle advantage is seamless buying of ebooks from Amazon.

It's far more efficient to discover, evaluate, and purchase books with a web browser than on a Kindle. I buy nearly all of my books from Amazon, and almost never use a Kindle to do it.
Ebook ecosystems are all 'walled gardens' and none of them are perfect. All are more or less unfriendly to side loaded content, or (in case of Apple and Google) have no eInk device support. There's no way to migrate from one ecosystem to another easily, and even if that were friction free, one would still be left with imperfection (in the eye of the beholder).
Even if you 'liberate' your entire ebook collection and use KOReader (as if that were the perfect reading application), there will be something missing.
As someone who mostly uses Amazon's, I would like to see Author grouping and auto-tagging for filtering purposes (based on Kindle Store categories). And TTS for Kindle and the mobile apps. I expect they'll do the first of these things eventually, like Series grouping it would help them sell more books.
