Naming Ebook readers
I named my Sony PRS-505 Humbert Humbert after a character from my favorite book. I wondered if anybody else has given their ereader a name?

Rosinante! After Don Quixote's horse... and also an apt metaphor I think for the journey that the 505 will take me on. I hope to be tilting at windmills for a long time to come

Hmmmm, since a gadget having a name requires it to have a personality, I have to wonder. My HTC Touch cell phone is smart enough to have a personality and her name is Trillion, after the heroin in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; but an eBook reader?
My Sony PRS505 is definitely too dumb for a name, but the jury is still out for my jetBook! Maybe Zaphod Beeblebrox, |
