Well, a Zettel is a small sheet of paper in German. I have no idea if this is the background, but I really read this as iZettel - and it doesn't make any sense.
On the other hand, "Kindle" is something like an angel in German (or a beer), and I think it is a great name anyway!
I always thought it was the bavarian/austrian/swiss diminutive for Zettel. Didn't make much sense to me either, except maybe because an old fashioned receipt is a small "Zettel"?
