I then was going to go with 'Otus' for awhile (a genus which owls belong too - my logic being 'hey! books are associated with books, right?' Glad I didn't go with that one). I pivoted a bit and looked at maybe using punctuation as a name, like Interrobang (which was taken). I finally settled on Hyphen - it was unused, didn't conflict with very many other apps, and 'felt' right.

So that's the story!
Ooh. Otus. That would have been fun. I'm serious.

I actually thought you were going to say you picked hyphen because hyphens connect words and Hyphen Reader is meant to connect readers with ebooks

Btw, I like your logo very much. The simplicity appeals to me.
