But why not (instead) use AKT for Amazon Kindle Touch? Problem solved.

Because people use KT. They have used KT since it was announced. All Kindles have been K1, K2, K3, K4 or KNT.

I am sorry that it bothers some folks that the Kindle Touch is abbreviated as the KT. It really is not that big of a deal.

I think it is safe to say that any product by Booken probably needs to be spelled out because most people are not familiar with the brand.

Well, it seems we have to agree that some people use KT for Kobo Touch and others for Kindle Touch - some for either, depending on the situation. So if it's unclear, people will have to define what they meant by KT.

People, people, people.....nearly 60 posts arguing over what abbreviation to use for the KT ()? Seriously, I think MR needs a sign that says "Please Don't Feed The Penguin"!

Isn't the Nook Simple Touch (Reader) commonly abbreviated NST (and not STR).

How about the glow light reader, NSTG?
