On an other note the devices we have today are already actually book processors. Any time you open an ebook, the computer on board processes the text to fit the screen. If you change text size, it reprocesses the whole book again accordingly. There you go, book processor, whatever shape, size or display.
It's the use of the word "processor" that bugs me a little. That implies making a book, not providing it for use...
