The same reason things like Gameboys or mobile phones aren't called computers. If they called it a computer they wouldn't attract their target audience. Plus a lot of the manufacturers want to tie you into their own book shop, so they wouldn't want people putting their own programs on it. A rival book shop might develop a program that lets people read their books on a competitor's device.
