Consider--Kindle! A crap name I first thought. I scoffed. How wrong I was. Now it's synonymous with e-reader. More to the point, the name indicates that Amazon viewed the Kindle as the way to *start* a fire. The Kindle popularised the e-book market. So job well done there, and the magic name worked.

Now--Fire! What could this mean? Well, maybe Amazon is finally ready to take over the world. Do they expect the Fire! to take the market by storm and transform everything?
well the kindle like the nook is a quirky name

I don't think "Fire" is going to become synamous with an lcd ereader
