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.

Hahaha: quote from 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)

I think the "eight week" translates well if the average daily usage is half an hour?

I'm not referring to the battery life, rather the slip-of-tongue wrt the name of the device.

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).

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