1. If this was an attempt at humor....
it failed.

Miserably.

2. Now we know the reason for the Kindle's odd name!

If you stick one under a pile of Korans, it bursts into flame via an act of God.

4. You are naive if you think it's about anything other than sex.
Kindle means to set alight or start to burn, to arouse or be aroused, to make or become bright. The word's roots are from the Old Norse word kyndill, meaning Candle. "I verified that it had deep roots in literature," adds Hibma. "From Voltaire: 'The instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours, kindle it at home, communicate it to others and it becomes the property of all.'" No other name could hold a candle to Kindle.
