Lets not quibble, its a common enough shorthand to call it an iTouch, that everyone knows what they are talking about.

That said, the iPod Touch makes one heck of a poor eBook reader compared to a 6" eink reader. It'll be fine for music and video. But reading it through a haze of fingerprints is not my idea of fun.

Having read several books on the iPod Touch, I have to say that finger prints are not a huge issue (at least for me). Certainly they will be no more of an issue for reading than they would be for video.
I agree that the screen is a bit on the small side, but it is perfectly acceptable unless you need really large type. And it is balanced out by the fact that it easily fits into a shirt pocket. Even the 5" Jetbook is too large for that (Though it fits into pockets in my coat and jeans).
My personal thought would be that something that had two screens that folded together like a Nintendo DS (but with higher resolution and better functionality) mike make a dandy portable reader.
