"Speedbook" is a million times better than "Literati".

If The Stranger made an ebook reader, what would it be named?

Minor quibble. You can't actually trademark something. You can register a trademark, but the power of the word mark is because of the public's knowledge and recognition of your company/product in relation to that mark...not necessarily in the filing of paperwork to protect it.

The Stranger's e-reader would be called "Speedball". Or "Bongwater". Or maybe "Dildomatic 5000".

One imagines middle aged European men with big pot bellies running about with their Speedbooks.

Will Speedbook go over as well as Nexus One?

Dear Paul,

I have a recurring daydream/fantasy where I take hi-res photos of my bookshelves and email them to you, with a single question: "What next?".

Someday, I may indulge that fantasy. I hope that is ok with you.

I'm gonna get that GD sharper image.....I can't believe they are releasing ANYTHING after they wouldn't honor their freaking gift certificates here while back.
I'm going in that store and sitting on something.

Does anyone actually use hotcakes anymore?

Exactly.

Just like Kindle.

We all do pancakes. Wake up and smell the iPad and Droid future, Amazon ...
