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.

Don't worry about it. The word "more" has two opposites, not one. They are "less" and "fewer".
"Fewer" is applied only to countable things; "less" to everything else.
So I can say "I have fewer children than you" but "less money than you". But plenty of native speakers don't use "fewer" and use "less" every time.
