Writer's question: Future ebook reader name?

Ok, I'm working on book 3 of my novel series and one of the topics that comes up is ebook readers. The guy who is in the story is a scientist who uses what I've tentatively called a "super cheetah". It's supposed to be an ebook reader on steroids basically. So in other words, it's primary job is as an ebook reader, but it can also do nearly everything but the kitchen sink. In his time (about 2029) all books are now ebooks and nothing is printed on paper anymore. So everyone has one of these. This includes everything from school books to novels to technical papers, etc. Internet is also ubiquitous, so it's got wireless, full internet browsing capability (for further research and ebook downloading), a music and media player (by then even that will be a "standard feature" on all devices) and a ton more.

Essentially it's a super PDA of sorts that just happens to be an ebook reader. Anywho, I'm looking for a good name to give it that'd do it justice and actually sound like a real, true ebook reader, even if it does have a lot more features than just ebook reading.
