Sadly, legally, it ain't the same.

That is important because in some jurisdictions "preorder" has legal implications and importantly, obligations for the seller. A kickstarter does not. Not yet at least, over in Germany there's a discussion about whether crowdfunding is just a form of taking preorders (in the legal sense), which would grant customers the same legal protections then.
