The term "eReader" was bought by B&N when they bought Fictionwise; I think they wanted access to the eReader credit-card DRM, 'cos they're certainly not supporting the bookstore.
Since B&N advertises its nook Simple Touch as "Breakthrough E Ink® display – 25% faster than any other eReader", they've pretty much killed their ability to prosecute for trademark infringement. They've declared that "eReader" means the device, not the format, and it includes the devices of their competitors.
