And as long as those shortcuts don't actually reduce understanding, then I have no hassle. But, this doesn't.

Libra 1 is as legitimate as Paperwhite 1 or 2 or 3 that were never named like that, but people decided to do so.
Honestly, I don't care about what people call their Paperwhites. But, I have seen those numbers and I've never actually known where they came from. I have periodically looked at the pages Amazon has for them, and I don't remember ever seeing Amazon selling the devices with those names. They currently have "Kindle Paperwhite" and "Kindle Paperwhite Signature". I have no idea what number is added to them, but, as Amazon doesn't tell me, I'm not surprised that someone is making something up. Using the year of release might have been better. But, Amazon does mention the generation, and their "Identify Your Kindle E-Reader" pages uses the generation. And for the record, when people said, "11th generation Paperwhite", I assumed it meant the 11th version of the Paperwhite, and I was surprised there had been that many.

But, Kobo has named these devices. They are completely clear that they are called and people using different names is never going to help. If the names were longer and more complicated, it would be one thing. But they are not and the advantage of typing "1" instead of "H2O" is so tiny it doesn't make up for the potential for confusion.
