While the terms "ereader", "ebook reader" etc, are still not clearly defined, that definition (the complete wikipedia definition is a little narrow) is what I consider an ereader to be. The iPad clearly does not fit that definition. I'm not trying to be in your face/argumentative. I just have a problem with people calling the iPad (or other tablets) an ereader.
Actually, the term ereader to mean an electronic reading device is incorrect. eReader alread has a meaning and the meaning does not mean electronic reading device. Now what I do like is eBook reader or just reader. But ereader is bastardizing eReader and will never be correct.
