No, B&N and Kobo and Sony compete(d). (B&N and Sony don't really count though. )

Kobo doesn't try in the US. But Kindles are not only popular in the US. And plenty of people even here in the bastion of ereader-geekery and customizability demands, don't care, we can extrapolate that the general public will care less.
