I'm not losing sleep over WHAT you call these things, because "these things" are EXTREMELY transitory. In 5 years (10 tops), people will laugh at the thought of having a device that does NOTHING except READ BOOKS. Once the devices start adding features (and if you don't think they will, I have a bridge I'd like to sell you...), the name will become generic, like tablet, slate, computer, etc.
