i agree that ultimately, ereader will end up being used as a generic term for "electronic reading device" just like walkman (or kleenex, or aspirin, or...). but for now, since it does cause a lot of confusion with the eReader file format (which ironically is not compatible with any e-ink ereader (device) currently on the market, unless i'm mistaken !) i prefer to use liseuse, which has a
long and glorious history on MobileRead and elsewhere.

i would love to read in the bathtub, sadly to do this you usually need to have... a bathtub.
