I personally like simple, kind of like the German auto-makers do it. Each model tells you what the the class and the engine displacement is. Simple. Informative.

So we can have:

Astak M-9.7A (Astak Mentor 9.7", Revision A)
Astak M-9.7B (Astak Mentor 9.7", Revision B (for the next Mentor 9.7" model))
Astak M-6.0A
Astak ER-6.0
...

If you have different features within the same model line:

Astak M9.7A-WG3 (Astak Mentor 9.7", Revision A, Wi-Fi and G3)
Astak M9.7A-W (Astak Mentor 9.7", Revision A, Wi-Fi)
...

So, you keep your branding ("Astak"), as opposed to teaching us a new word every time you have a new model, and having us use such new word, instead of your brand ("Astak.")

Oh, and it makes it easier to search for a particular model on the web.
Cool. So by this nomenclature, I'll be purchasing an

Astak ZR-5 with a 400 cu. 8-valve engine with turbocharge

(EZ Reader Pocket Pro, 5", 400 MHz, 8-lvl grayscale, Epson controller)

NICE!
