The latter, mostly. I don't plan to read them all, but I like to have as wide a selection available as possible.
As to why Kindles are so popular... as Quoth said, it's because of the size and power of their manufacturer, Amazon. And Kindles are the most popular in English-speaking countries, as Amazon dominates the ebook market there; in Europe with their many different native languages, you see various other models at least as often, if not more.
Kindles are excellent ereaders, but not necessarily better than other brands. They're just everywhere in English-speaking countries because Amazon is everywhere there.
