The usage that more and more people seem to be objecting to (judging by the votes anyway) is the ongoing attempt by a small number of people to push its use as an english term as well despite the fact that it needlessly confuses matters just as terms like ebook, ereader etc are finally starting to gain a bit of mainstream recognition.
