When I wanted to get an ereader I knew of the three-Kindle Kobo and Nook. Nook and Kindle were more well known to me as I had seen and held them before when friends showed theirs off. Kobo was one I heard of from my being a member of Rakuten cash back. It was trying to decide which of those three to buy that I learned of Sony, Boox, Pocketbook, Meebook, Tolino, Inkbook, and the various other brands not commonly seen here in the US.
I bought my first Kindle (a PW5 off Woot for ~25$) as I didn't want to spend too much money and find out I wasn't going to like reading on eink screens. That was the only reason I bought it. If I could've found anything else at a similar price with free two day shipping I might have bought some other brand for my initial ereader. All my other ereaders were bought because I wanted certain features such as glowlight (my Nooks) buttons (my K3) screen (my Voyage) and looks cool and have buttons (my different Sonys).
