Ease of use and marketing. Most people still have never heard of another ereader.
It was even sold in supermarkets as well as Electrical goods stores in Ireland for a while.
No doubt store integration helped, but Sony, Binatone and others had integrated stores. Nook and Kobo still do.

If I want to read on my laptop, well, I don't like that.
I'm on the verge of switching to a new brand of eReader.
I switched ages ago, but still buy ebooks from Amazon. Kindle GUI and Collections got progressively more awkward and broken.
I read almost exclusively on eInk (100% of novels), used to be Kindle, now a Kobo Sage. About 90% of my ebooks are PD. I used to let Amazon "push" to the Kindle till I discovered that a backup couldn't be restored to a replacement Kindle. All ebooks are now downloaded and managed in Calibre.

So ANYWAY, what happened to viewing Wish Lists on the Kindle eReader Store? It was there a last week.
Also, I am NOT referring to Your Reading Lists.
I think the browser is worse than 10 years ago.

I've never seen an on Kindle Wish List. Using a Kindle since 2013.
