I do not mind a little inconsistency but ...
A few of them:

BookBrowser I'll leave up to you and diapdealer. Just be consistent.

e-reader

EPUB since that's what the registered trademark is

dialogue but then I'm Canadian.

toolbar Just don't start calling it a ribbon.

ebook but as with e-reader, no real consensus

filename vs file name? A bit of an oddity. Generally when referring to computer storage, I use filename while talking to a person, file name would be used.

Pretty much as long as the terms are used consistently, most users won't care.
