So, other than the article there are places that call it an "e-reader" ... Yes, I know they are technically mistaken, but when there are a lot of places and people making the same mistake, it tends to catch on.
'Ereader' makes me think of a device, not a format - that's how I use the term myself.
It seems to be the generic term for the kit, at least in the UK, judging by how often one encounters it in the press and on the web.
