...or to learn the wonderful language of the brave Norwegians and use the word "leseplate"

hm, perhaps, but of course i never eat on my device !
thinking about it some more, here are some more suggestions (now you've got me started...) :
e-codex (i think it refers definitely, specifically, to the container / form, although i beleive codices are supposed to be hand-written... and technically, a collection of sheets of paper bound on one side, but we'll call that poetic licence
)
omniBook (from omnibus), for the idea of many (ok, technically *all* but let's not quibble, we can say it's figurative) books inside
e-folio (i like the pun on "in folio" and etymologically "electronic leaves of paper" makes sense especially with e-ink screens...)
epiTome (because i like puns, sorry !) from Tome with the implication that it is the BEST tome because it contains whatever you want ! and it already starts with "e" for electronic... hm, maybe that one is really trying too hard.
i think of this list i prefer
omniBook. please tell me no-one has made a format with this name.
EDIT : arg ! hewlett packard make a portable computer called omniBook. copiers !!
