Why "liseuse"? what does it mean, actually? I don't know French, and from what little I know "liseuse" reminds me of a piece of cloth. Online dictionaries seem to agree with me, so I'm obviously confused.

Does it have another meaning?
it's got at least 7 or 8 meanings so far, although a "piece of cloth" as far as i know is not in fact one of them. secretly i'm hoping to continue to add new meanings until i can express absolutely anything at all just with one word. (okay, the last part is not true.)

for the mobileread tradition behind the use of "liseuse" please see this thread.
