Loved this:

Names

Kindle - I don't know about you, but this name makes me think about book burning. I guess Amazon wants us all to burn our paper books and read everything on our Kindle. Great strategy for them, not so great for civilization.

Nook - This is a pleasant place where you site down to read a book. It also rhymes with "book," "look" and "cook." Does not remind me of Nazi Germany like the Kindle.
