Amazon Kindle discussion

Let's see...
My first Kindle (Version 2) was simply named with my name & phone number, cause I was paranoid I was going to loose it. It got stolen and no one every tried to call me to return it, so I gave that up.

I was a bit more creative with my second Kindle (Keyboard). I named it Alexandria, after the library.
Then I bought a paperwhite that I named Auora, cause it glowed.
My Kindle Fire is boring. It's merely named Bonfire.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy, so it's named Messier 106.
My Oasis is named Petra.

My Kindle’s name is Moodles

Completely unimaginative here. I can't remember if the earliest Kindles, back to 2008, had names but mine was probably something like "Celia's 1st Kindle."

The 1st Fire arrived named "Celia's 1st Fire" but I did something wrong in setting it up and in CS straightening it out, it had to be changed to 2nd Fire and later ones have followed suit.

The 2 I got recently @$29.99 are going to be for specific purposes - one for only my getting-bigger by the day recipe collection so will probably be re-named, unimaginatively, Recipes, and the other for my music videos bookmarked from YouTube - cheaper than buying music - and maybe for YouTube quilting videos, so probably Music & Quilting.

I’ve named my paper white 221B Baker Street

I dithered on the first version until it was sold out, but I know you've been able to change the name since V2 in 2009. But, I'm not sure if it had a name by default.

My Oasis came named as my 3rd Kindle by default when it was my 4th E-ink one. So that very first Kindle I got probably wasn't named as my first Kindle.

My first Kindle was named '42' because that's the Answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. One of my other Kindles is called 'Robinson' because Jackie Robinson's number was 42. And he was pretty cool. One of the in-between ones was named 'Hawking' because it looks like it's just sitting there, but it knows everything. I accidentally killed him when I slipped down the stairs. Poor Hawking.

Just my e-mail address in case I lost it and someone would find it and wanted to contact me

Mine is Page Turner.

My new kindle was purchased to celebrate 4 years since finishing treatment for breast cancer and remaining cancer free. So I named it Celebration. My previous kindle is Rainbow.

Congrats Lenora! That's a perfect name.

Thanks Shannon! :-)

Hmmmm I’m boring. My kindle just has my name.

Mine was Kendall but I got a new Fire and haven't named it yet.

I don't have a name for my nook color

I change my kindle's name to my favorite character of the last book I read - if I didn't like anyone in particular then I keep the previous name

Mine's named Electric Bookaloo.

Mine's Libro Electronico de Kaye

Kendall. That way I can say "I spent the afternoon with Kendall" but my husband caught on to me

I only have the Kindle app but I'm afraid it is suffering from DID... The first is my Kindle for PC, the second ánd third are on the same tablet (which is, according to the help desk, not possible!), the fourth is on my old Nokia telephone and the fifth is on my new Pixel telephone...
I always send new books to the third one, but somehow they sometimes turn up to be on the second one too...
I'm afraid to change anything in this set-up and I know that is silly because all my content is with Amazon, but still...
Next year when I'm retired I think I'll have time to try and unravel all this.

you can NAME YOUR KINDLE?? ok now I have to figure out how to do it

and come up with a name...

Mine is Szarvas Kindle. Szarvas means deer in Hungarian. (There is a deer drawing on its case.)

I didn't realise that we could name our Kindles. I googled how to change your device name and found that mine is Tameka's Fire 7. Yes, it's very unimaginative. But now I'm inspired by this post to change the name.

Mine is named Dave’s 5th Kindle. Yes, it is the 5th one I’ve owned!

😂

Mine is CYRA. Initially, I named it KIPP, after the robot in the movie *Interstellar*, as my other two devices—my laptop and phone—are also named after robots from the movie (TARS and CASE). KIPP felt kind of boring, so I changed it to CYRA.

Mine is T's Paperwhite

Mine is Kellie's Kindle
