Yes eReader is software. As far as I'm concerned, an ereader is 'Someone who etc, etc'. Especially on a forum like this. Dixie Gal wrote "ereader", not eReader, you know. And, but the way just why should we not "...use the term eReader in such a way that does not refer to either the software or the format." Does it personally disturb you or is this Forum policy? We're all friends here, are we not?
Hmm, sounds like eReader is going to have to go after all of the "ereaders" the same way Kleenex had to go after people calling a tissue a Kleenex or Xerox had to go after all those people using "Xerox" when they meant "copy."

They might let it go for now since they are trying to grow the market, but one day ....
