Changing the name of a Kindle device

I have ... A few iOS devices. So the default Amazon naming scheme (Geek's 2nd iOS Device, Geek's 3rd iPhone, &c.) leaves a lot to be desired of. Likewise, Amazon's "Manage Your Content and Devices" advice doesn't give you anything to differentiate them with, except (if you click the "..." button to the left of each device) the "Send to Kindle" email address associated with each unit.

Tapping the "More" icon on the bottom of the screen in the latest Kindle software gives you a "Settings" option, which will reveal the "Send-to-Kindle email address" associated with that device. Then, find the corresponding device in the "Manage Your Content and Devices" list on Amazon.com, and edit the name there.

Kind of a hassle, but at least straightforward. And now I can send a book to my iPad Pro 9.7, without trying to divine if that was my 3rd or 4th iPad...
