In Norwegian the word "leseplate" is commonly used. "Lese" is Norwegian for "read" and "plate" is the same word as the English equivalent but in Norwegian it has a slightly different meaning excluding saucers and the like. Maybe the English word "pod" would be better.

I was thinking of a more common term then the ones you love trolls use when speaking to your gpods in sleep.

to reply in a sincere and non-trollish way
to the original post, in fact i like the french term "liseuse" very much as a generic word (someone proposed that on a blog about e-book devices, but i don't remember who / which blog), which can be translated as "reader" quite simply. however i suppose you are probably looking for an english term...
other than describing it as "an ipod for books" when explaining it to my friends, i don't know if i like the term "pod". it has scary connotations of aliens who steal your brain.
but what would a
gpod be now ?
