If I look at

http://www.ereader.com/help/ereader/guide/install

they say things like

Books for use with eReader can be purchased and downloaded directly from eReader.com at http://www.ereader.com.

Books in eReader format can also be obtained from other websites, but care must be taken to download the book in the correct format, as there are other, incompatible eBook formats available that are not supported by eReader. eReader supports books in older Peanut Reader format, Palm Reader format, and Secure Palm format books.
so it seems to me that eReader is not the name of the format. Because then the first sentence in the quote is nosense.
