I can't say for you, but there are plenty of other options. PocketBook (which recently released a color e-ink ereader), Kobo, Onyx (which I have heard negative things about regarding their unwillingness to comply with the GPL for their Linux kernel), the ReMarkable (which I have heard is incredibly hackable), and the Nook. There's probably even more I'm forgetting, but Kindles are definitely not the only option.
I've been happy with my Kobo.
I use some product produced domestically. It has all the features I need, and none of the spyware or adware. It was also cheap. I am really happy with this product.
I was much more happy with my Kobo, as others have said.
