I also think of it as 'lis' - 'use' & I don't know if that is correct pronunciation. I don't like the term. e-reader much better describes what the hardware is for English speakers, an electronic reader. Even my parents know what an e-reader is, but no one is going to know what a liseuse is. I have only just recently heard of it myself and I have been frequenting here since Jan. Initially I thought that it meant a forum...as in 'lise' meaning list and 'use' meaning usernet. Seriously.
Who cares if there is an eReader format and there is eReader software and the devices are called e-reader (or ereader)....people know what it means.
