(And luddites would say for: Not-a-book.) Of course, since a nook is also a small, tightly constrained spot, maybe its a disclaimer about their DRM. ;) Nook is probably PR-speak for: N-Book, as in New-Book.

If the bologosphere goes silly over the word "nook," it just proves that the blogosphere is populated with too many adolescent boys.

And new e-reader is being called Alex. What's next: Cheryl, Marge and James. Hugh. Richard? The Nook must get its name from sitting in a little nook of the room or house reading. But the sexual implications of nookie, ouch, the blogosphere is going to have a field day with this one! In Japan, they call magazines they cover one subject like a book as "mooks". In English of course. This NOOK seems like it has a big fugure ahead of it, not least on the Leno show for off-color jokes. I can hear him now. "I bought a new Nook the other day from Barnes and Noble, and my wife accuses me of getting a little nookie on the side!" O boy! Love to see your final report, Paul. Break a leg! I almost wrote "Break a keg!" Oops! That is what they call an atomic typo. It’s the NOOK that’s out today, as in get a little nookie on the side. And new e-reader is being called Alex.
