LOL, but careful, ZJ: many very nice people who own these devices are using these words on their personal blogs. Do some googling and you will see. They do not mean any offense or harm, but some Kindles users LOVE their Kindles so much that they have started using the word as a verb. I told this last month to the man in SF who created the word KINDLE for AMAZON, Mr Michael Cronan, and he told me in an email that when he coined the word KINDLE for the reading device, he and his wife acutally HOPED the word would be turned into a verb, and their very first press release a year ago or so, used the word as a verb, too, before anyone else did. He told me he is pleased to see "kindling" used a verb for reading on a Kindle. The man himself!
