I reckon they will all just be known as Kindles. After all if you want to write a letter you use a Biro. If you want to vacuum you use a Hoover. If you want to read a book you use a Kindle!

Check your dictionary, shel. I think you'll find the word you're looking for has the syllable "ot" missing.

Cheers,

After playing around with it a bit, I named my Nook "Lil' Stinker." It seems to fit.

I'm currently in the process of selling it to a friend. She's been warned.

Damn it! She used my own "Can't it be both?" against me.

Anyway, for the type of thing I suspect becoming predominant, I think "tablet" is taking the stage (appropriate really - Everyone must have one! Take your medicine!). In this house, as of The Loved One's birthday a couple of days ago, we're now a two-tablet family. I just bought him an iPad too. I can't remember what he called it...maybe "Agnes"?

Cheers,
Marc

Neck-deep in material goods, but shallow in personality.

Oh, and apparently, not "Agnes", but "Zachary".

That's the name of my new grandson coming up in January. Which is fitting, since I named my new Ugg slippers Monts and Nmags.

Monts would have appreciated that, and would have shown his appreciation with a BIGNOSEPOKE that would have left you incapacitated and probably infertile. (N)Mags is asleep, but as she is likely dreaming of how the entire world revolves around her so that the stars know where to go to fall in her lap, I think we can rest assured that her lucid "As it should be" is as close to approval as we're likely to get.

Incidentally, I'm assuming you meant "Zachary" for the grandson, and not "Agnes" (or is your family future-proofing your income stream with patients from its own number?).

Cheers,
Marc
