Since we're all into electronic books, how about Electric Avenue Book Club?
Not unless you can do away with the song. We'd be hearing it every time we see the title.

I hear it anyway every time I approach an avenue with three syllables in its name. There are worst ear bugs. At least that one always makes me smile.

That's rather a subtle difference for a new name, Jon, changing an r to lower-case.

I really would like to see a name that clearly shows it's a new club, not a version of a previous club. Hence my original suggestion of New Leaf.

I'd agree with New Leaf if we actually read pBooks. Since we don't read pBooks (well, most don't for sure) I'll put in for New Bits or New Electrons.

One other idea... Bits, Bytes, and Books.

So what are your nominations?

New Bits (I like that better than New Electrons)
Bits, Bytes and Books

Or just the latter.

Happy Hanukkah, Jon!

I think there is something to this, but right now that sounds more focused on technology than on books to me. How about Books by the Byte.

That makes 4 from me so far unless I come up with more. There is one I can dump if need be if I come up with a better name.
