Nearly 1000 hits in Google News and over 1.6 million Google hits for "e-reader".

Over 200 hits in Google News and over 1.95 million Google hits for "electronic book"

I'm not sure that Googling your preferred name and publishing the figures proves anything other than that there is not a commonly agreed term for these things yet.

Oh, and please knock off the sarcastic "fingers in ears", "lalala" comments. They may be appropriate in the playground, they're not here.
