The Clara 2E is moreso competing against the Paperwhite 5 than the Basic Kindle. If you're into modding your device then it really feels like iOS vs Android.
On one hand, you got iOS (and Kindle), really well made, but closed ecosystem, albeit with a thriving jailbreaking community (though not so much with iOS anymore thanks to all the things happened in iOS 15/16, but the tweak ecosystem is still very much alive thanks to sideloading tweaks in IPAs + trollstore.)
On the other, you got Android (and Kobo, but Kobo does NOT run Android, I'm only making comparisons here, though their German twins, the Tolino, does run Android.) which is a lot more open in nature and thus you wouldn't need to do much to get it the way you want, but you miss out on niche things (Android: tweaks for apps, etc) (Kobo: the vast library that Kindle and its store has.) and their rooting/jailbreaking community isn't as large.
This is just how it feels to me, I'm probably definitely getting some stuff wrong so I apologize.
