No. We don't need another pointless blend to substitute for a flexible, easily compounded noun.
My water bottle is rectangular instead of round like traditional bottles, but I don't call it a squottle or rectottle...which sounds like something to look out for during a proctology exam.
The popular obsession with making blends for anything that doesn't strictly fit traditional convention is a bit over the top these days.
Whether I'm reading on a screen, a piece of paper, a stone tablet, a metal plate, a wood plaque, a silk embroidery, a concrete bathroom wall, or a skin tattoo, it's still reading. Distinctions can be made easily enough with compound nouns.
