I have no problem with the word being used in the French speaking forums but object to it in the English-speaking forums and particularly in the Reviews and News sections. There are perfectly good English terms in use historically as well as by the device manufacturers. We do not need a made-up word (like Kindle for example).
What I object to is when a news item has the reporter's preference for what to call an eBook reader instead of what the manufacture is calling the device that they make and sell. We may or may not agree with the manufacturer, but at least the new item would be accurate.
