IMHO...
I don't think the discussion is what to call the digital files... but what to call the device which you use to view them. I agree the files should be called ebooks.

I usually call the device a "reader" or "ebook reader"... but never an eReader since that is the name of the once called Palm Doc format. Although you can usually tell from the context whether someone meant ereader the file format or ereader a device that you use to read ebooks.
