Use of the term ebuchleser outside of MobileRead

[Sweetpea]

In Dutch, they're simply called e-readers... Simple.

Doesn't bother me, but the Librarian from the Unseen University may come after you. You might buy him off with bananas...

I know what you mean but next day i've forgotten all words that i've used the evening before.

Actually, if you go to Amazon Germany, you'll see they sell the Kindle 1 as the "Amazon EeeBee" (<---linky).

PPS. I actually have always liked the Kindle 1. It was just a convenient foil

My apologies Geoff, and anyone else. My browser did not act that way...I've removed the link.

Never end a sentence with a proposition.

ad 4:
Actually, from my experience, german trains are rarely on schedule any more. The time of arrival/departure posted is just about the only time you can be absolutely sure there's no train coming or going. Which, I'll admit, is nice to know as well, just maybe not as useful as the actual time the train is gonna be there.
And it just plain sucks when you have to catch a connecting train.

Going very offtopic: Fuck privatizing everything and anything. Back when the trains were run by civil servants, they came on time.

Still more offtopic, I'd never thought I'd rant like this before turning 30. Now I feel old. And young. At the same time.
I'd better go sleep now, it's too late to write meaningful posts...

Sigh. This thread is about the use of ebuchleser. I don't know why the anti-ebuchleser/eebee/eeb crowd is so antagonistic against our use of these words. No one is forcing you to use them, so please stop trying to derail the thread.

Back on topic: I've found lots of hits on google for both eebee and eeb. Unfortunately, very few of them seem to be related to eReaders (much like that "Lease Use" word).

In other news, I'm managed to eebify both my mom and my nephew. The wife still has this "paper book" fetish that I can't cure her of, so no eebee-ification there.

'tis not offtopic.
ebuchleser is all well and good, but since another word has made it there first is unlikely to further catch on.
It's sad, but true.
