It is a fact I am a blonde with blue eyes - the rest you might imagine at your leisure

I went with silver as well... looking at the readers in the store you can tell how time and use put lots of visible scratches on the readers... the best one that looked was the silver. The blue, red, and black all looked beat up...

That was interesting to know. And it'll be a very cool name for your device.

Thank you

Mind you, I still have to find a proper name for my Cybook and my silver PRS-505 (Luna?). They might turn out to be jealous siblings :P

I think you should name your 505 Artemis.

For the PRS 505: Artemis was a good suggestion, mine is 'Baldur' - the "light" (or white) god, the wise and perfect one (too perfect even).
Cybook...? hmmm...I know the Nordic pantheon best - depends on what you think of the device.

I think I'm going to call her Diana (Latin-style, Dee-a-na, not like Lady Di). And maybe the Cybook will be something more sober like Admetus... which is connected with death mythology. Perfect!

White, light, wise, perfect- a lot of attributes one wishes for a Reader and its content!

Of course. The Latin name of Artemis. It's funny, but I was thinking of Odin (pronounced Othin) for the Cybook. The king of the gods, the wisest and most cunning of all. An imposing and awesome figure, the god of death and the lord of war. Perhaps not quite sober, but connected with death mythlogy as well. Do you think it is the black colour that makes think in those patterns?

Powerful black- I think yes! One of the oldest colours, in history of human culture. Seriously powerful, rather than sober, you're right.

Yes, Diana is the Latin name for the Greek goddess Artemis (writing my dissertation on both

)
