John is so much more interesting then Jon...

The john (who's name was John), paid the prostitute while sitting on the john.

(I'm not sure about proper capitalization.)

Thank you very much for that. Since we are now going by what Amazon uses, then it's eBooks.

Kindle eBooks

I pick ebook. Most people aren't very good typists and random capitalization can simply confuse the issue.

But it's not random. It's very specific. eBooks is not Ebooks or ebOoks or eboOks or ebooKs or ebookS, etc.
