On the other hand, most people don't even see the distinction between Kindle and Kobo. Over here, it's mostly Kobo's that are sold, so people will less likely call an ereader a Kindle than in the US.

It's a common problem. Photocopiers have different names but many refer to the task as getting a Xerox. Likewise Rollerblades are just one brand of skates but most everyone seems to refer to all inline skates as Rollerblades. I'm sure there are other examples too. Kindle is just following that same trend to calling all of a particular product a given name that really only applies to one brand.
