I brought it up since I thought this thread was a well named thread for the issue. And this issue is a matter of etiquette as to using the term eReader correctly or not.

All you can do is get specific, i.e., refer to your Sony device as a "Sony Reader," the Iliad's an Iliad, etc, not just "an e-reader." In a pinch, say "e-book reader."
There are cases now with it is inappropriate to refer to a Sony Reader as a Sony Reader as there are now two models and not everything said about a Sony Reader refers to both models. Something said might refer to the 500 or the 505 without referring to the other.

Now when referring to a Cybook, you may have to specify the model since they too have multiple reading devices.
