very minor...
however that is an interesting suggestion... then again orpheus was the first great poet (and musician but that's not as relevant) and, bringing us back to a previous suggestion, his son was named Musaeus, which means "of the Muses"... Orpheus is one of my favorite figures from mythology.

"moose" is good...
no, more seriously, i think you are right, a name will be easy to remember and will allow us to create a mascot or personality which will also help people to remember and make logo etc. easier.

1. A logo would present itself.
2. boob-ook sounds more like apes then owls 
Or - to avoid misunderstandings regarding slowbies: bookowl-that-is-seriously-not-bumping-into-tree-trunks |
i like the owl idea as well. owls may not *truly* be wise, but we can call that "poetic licence" right ?
and the fact they can turn their head 180° (more ?) is good for a search engine. bookowl could be a good name i think. sadly it is taken. in fact someone seems to have bought up quite a lot of variations on (e)book + owl. however
e-book.owl.com is available, so is e-book-owl.com
