It's someone's idea to shorten the term eBook reader into ereader. But as eReader is already defined. Using it to mean eBook reader is incorrect. I don't know if eReader (with the proper meaning) is in copyright or trademark. But we have had some people at MR see ereader being used incorrectly and when trying to figure out what format to get for their reader, have bought eReader format at Fictionwise because it's "recommended".
