Some companies tend to treat model or inventory numbers as brands, sadly.

But, even though people here tend to use PRS-, Kindle2US, etc..., the companies don't necessarily advertise that way. Nook, Kindle, Sony Reader, etc...are how they are branded and advertised, in many cases.

We tend to use the model numbers to differentiate features here-but it isn't always the case for most users.
