To you and Harry, I guess saying "ereader" must make you feel the same way as when I hear the term "download" when people really mean "upload." When I normally correct the people and tell them it's upload their response is usually that the two terms are the "same thing." We all KNOW it's not the same thing, but the general public, being the way they are, couldn't give a hoot as to the technical terms so everything is "downloaded."

For example "I downloaded all those books from my READER to the computer." BEEP! I'm sorry, you don't win the prize. The correct way to phrase that is "I uploaded all those books from my READER to the computer."
