The Name is Tiny, Tiny Cooper.


So I just got an eReader. It's a Sony Touch that looks like the one in the picture.
For the longest time I was one of those people who were completely against eReaders. I made a pretty good argument against them. Yet here I am, telling you all that Zoe has a brand new book toy.

What I like about this particular one is that you have the option of using the touch screen or using the buttons at the bottom.
The one complaint I have about this eReader and most eReaders is that it isn't back-lit.

I know why it isn't back-lit, I just don't like it.

I got the Sony Touch today and I've already uploaded 30 eBooks and eGalleys to it. It's easy to navigate around and I like it a lot so far.

Now time to tell you about how I got the title for this post.

I love naming my electronics (and bookshelves). My old laptop was Alaska Young and my current laptop is named Bradford Levithan. Out of my three bookshelves, only one is named (her name is Annabelle, and she is amazing. I also had a bookshelf named Julian, but we had to give him away because he was too bulky).

A few nights ago on twitter, I asked the lovely late-night-twitter-people what I should name my new reader. Awesome blogger Nancy suggested the name Tiny Cooper. Tiny Cooper, as some of you may know- is a character in Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan.

So the eReader will now be known as Tiny Cooper. He is awesome and I love him.


*I am in no way being paid to talk about Sony eReaders.
