There's an explanation of what it means somewhere - I forget where. It's not an "e" although it could be interpreted as looking like one.
There actually is, as Jon says, a very good practical reason for not calling it the "eReader", which is that "eReader" is the name of a book format which the Sony does not support. The last thing we want to happen is for people to go to an eBook store, see "eReader" books and buy them, only to find that they can't be read on the Reader. That's why we're "hot" on not calling it the "eReader" - we're not doing it just to be picky.
