what's so particular about these kindles that a simple android tablet can't provide?
E-ink
Are they the only ones providing these?
No, but Amazon's are very often the cheapest by far, easiest to find used (since more are sold in the first place). On Prime days they're often very cheap.
I imagine most of the profit comes from buying/renting the books.
