I read this as "The New Kindle Paperweight." I sincerely hope that it's a successful product so this pun doesn't show up too often.

  My first thought was that they're planning to release a black one just so they can call it the Paperblack.

    No, that's going to be the Kindle Scissor. Followed shortly by Kindle Rock (the true paperweight).

  Hahaha: quote from http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-19509626 http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-19509626 under the image (the caption): "Amazon said the Kindle Paperweight's battery could last for up to eight weeks" (emphasis added) (screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/3n0f0p3X173q http://cl.ly/image/3n0f0p3X173q)

    I think the "eight week" translates well if the average daily usage is half an hour?
    • ComputerGuru 14y ago
      I'm not referring to the battery life, rather the slip-of-tongue wrt the name of the device.

    Looks like they've corrected it, but the URL still shows the original title

      The slug doesn't matter: http://www.techradar.com/news/mobile-computing/tablets/amazon-announces-bacon-sandwich-1095267 http://www.techradar.com/news/mobile-computing/tablets/amazo...
