Nah, it's not difficult, it's pronounced like an 'ø'

I really, really hope not, but I am afraid it might well happen - It happened to the walkman, xerox, aspirin, hoover.... It has almost happened with the iPod.
I can't understand why I should mind though - perhaps because I have issues with Amazon's Kindle business model and because it's not available here? I think it annoys me that it steals the show from other great ebook readers, when it's only available in USA.
Back to the OP; I tend to use 'ebook reader' or 'reading device' or 'e-reader'. An ebook is the book file, not the device. I think I overall prefer 'ebook reader'
PS: Would pleople mind being the tiniest bit more serious? I've just waded through a great deal of 'unutterably silliness' - it's the wrong forum.
