Kobo seems to be the main competitor to the Kindle, Nook is only there because they discounted so heavily, not sure they will last either.

It's been moving in that direction for a while from what I've seen here in the US. The local Best Buy stocks and displays ereaders, and the T-1 was there two years ago but no one seemed to look at it. The Sony display model wasn't even working whereas the Kindles and Nooks were. It irked me but everyone was interested in the Kindles.
Recently I saw that a local Christian bookstore stocks only Kobos.
Kodak invented the digital camera but is now out of business largely because of it. So it goes.
