If I look at

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

they say things like


so it seems to me that eReader is not the name of the format. Because then the first sentence in the quote is nosense.
"eReader" *is* a format for Palm-based DRM'd ebooks. Always has been. The Sony e-ink device is the "Reader" and always has been. There should be no confusion between the two. Of course, "eReader" sometimes refers to the Palm software capability for the DRM files.
