I really, really hope not, but I am afraid it might well happen - It happened to the walkman, xerox, aspirin, hoover.... It has almost happened with the iPod. |
I doubt it. The Kindle is only well-known (at least I presume it's well-known) in the US. Most people here only know of the Kindle if they are gadget happy. This might have happened if Amazon had brought the Kindle to the rest of the world too, soon after its US introduction.
