I like this one from MLE. Since I have a Nook, any acroynm that has "kindle" in it leave me out. But this one takes all ereaders into consideration.
Do you think the word kindle will eventually come to mean all ereaders, like kleenex means any tissue? In my work environement, there are many people who read, and the ereaders are about split between Kindle and Nook, but we all sort of refer to them collectively as kindles.

What do you call a wall-banged kindle book?

A bungee - because it's got that explosive boing about the meaning and you can tie it into the word 'bung'. You are the bunger and the bad book is the 'bungee.'

I read an article recently that said that although Kindle has some ridiculous market share (like 98%?? I can't be exact), that it will quite quickly drop to about 33% or 35%. That, of course, would probably still leave the market dominated by three big hitters which really can't be good. I can't remember what data this projection was based on but I can see the point.
