I’m sure someone has already asked this question (or, rather, pointed out this problem). But it struck me today as I was reading to my son, so now it’s my turn (unless no one’s done it yet, in which case you should feel free to celebrate my brilliance). Why — oh, why! — did Barnes & Noble decide to name its eReader after a Dr. Seuss character who quite clearly CAN’T READ?!
