How you affectionately call your “Kindle”?

This might be weird question, however I consider it very interesting.

Maybe in some languages name "Kindle" is very similar to another word. In Poland a lot of people call its kindle "Kundelek" which literally mean "puppy"

Has your e-reader a name?

Mine is called kindel which means "certain" in Estonian. I've mostly simply started calling it raamat or "book" though.

My wife is calling my PW "Kambal" means "blanket", since I read every night under my blanket

I named my PW Clair de Lune. I had babelfish translate moonlight to French. I got tired real quick of seeing "xxx's 3rd Kindle" and had to give it a name.

My one in my purse is called Weeble (yes, as in Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down). It is just a tiny thing compared to my kindle keyboard (it's a kindle w/ads).

My sister calls hers Death Ray.

My Keyboard Kindle is just - 'the kindle'.
