Which name do you think will eventually prevail?
The term eReader already has a meaning. eReader is the name of the program that displays eReader format eBooks. So using the term eReader to mean eBook reader is incorrect.

Just use the term eBook reader. When you say eBook Reader (note the capital R), you mean Sony Reader. So doing it as eBook reader (not the small r) would make it generic enough.
