Yes, Slava, I think you are onto something. In spite of the overwhelmingly and temptingly rational explanations found in this thread, I am going to swing with "Qualia", and thus the symbol "Q".
What could it mean? For each of us, the act of reading carries with it a subjective feeling that we value. It is possible that for each of us the feeling is different. Maybe none of us will ever experience the color green in exactly the same way either. Perhaps we will never know.
Qualia are the subjective components of experience that distinguish them. I assert that Sony is gently reminding us of the unique feeling of settling in with a good book.
There once was a man from Hemphelflieter,
Who settled down to view his Reader,
With his paraphernalia,
Immersed in his qualia,
He forgot himself almost completer!
