It's confusing, but Windows CE has sort of been the generic name for the OEM version of Windows Mobile (which is what MS is calling the platform this week) since the Dark Ages. I would imagine that a new product like this ebook reader will be using a current OEM version of Windows Mobile. As to what features will be included (including the ability to run MS Reader), that is up to the OEM. They can pick and choose which parts of the OS they want to use. It is all modular. They could even decide to write their own LIT reader, as the SDK and some DLLs are available.
