Using Hoover to mean vacuum is actually a UK term. We don't say that in the US. I also see the usage of Kleenex to mean tissue dying out in the US. And Xerox for photocopy is also dying out.
I just hope that Kindle for reader (ereader is incorrect) dies out as people realize that there are more devices and better devices then the Kindle. If the K4 drops the keyboard for Touch and uses ADE, then maybe Amazon can take over. But without, no way.
