Good point! I don't want my creation mistaken for Nationalsozialismus. I have a feeling no good could come from that.

Thanks!

It's unlikely that anything you create will even resemble Nationalsozialismus, at least not without some concerted effort. To do so, I believe you would need to:
  1. Use only the strictest formatting in your CSS's controling every aspect of every book
  2. Perform and cause others to perform acts too heinous and hideous to mention, even on some cable channels
  3. develop a hoard of unquestioning minions
  4. Take credit for inventing the Volkswagen, and along with getting trains to run on time, make claims that those two ends justify any means you used
Personally, I think it's too much trouble, except for items number 1 and 3.

Oh, you mean the "WinApplites"

Those people will do anything for their leader Steve Gates.

True, true.

Shortly, "ebuchleser" will be "ebook." I simply propose we stay ahead of the curve, and call then "ebooks" now. We can use the same word for the little files containing data they interpret for us to read, and know which is which based on context.
given that logic, the next step is simply "e.b." (think v.w.). to clear up any possible confusion, the pronunciation is indeed eeeeebeeee.

that is all

But KK, the VW eventually was just called "bug"?

Wouldn't that just leave us with something like "Boouk"?

"Punch Buggy"? Red one, no punch backs.
