Please, give it up. An e-book reader is <drumroll> an e-book reader, or quite simply "reader", which makes perfect sense in context.

The very fact that quite knowledgeable folks in the e-book "movement" have no idea what you're talking about when you say "liseuse" argues quite strongly against its use.

You're the only one I see use it, and it seems to always provoke a puzzled response. You have to ask yourself then if it is improving communication or hindering it.
