When I bought mine, Amazon didn't have USB C and page turning buttons on the same model. Kobo did.

It has direct integration with borrowing books from the library.

It has direct integration with Instapaper.

You can drag a file onto the device after mounting it over USB.

You can replace the endpoint for the store with a Calibre Web endpoint to directly sync your books from a personal server.

You can pretty easily modify the device however you see fit.

For me the library integration on the device itself was a major selling point. I have no complaints after switching four years ago!
