In writing my reference book (this is NOT a PLUG!!), I discovered the easiest way to keep things clear was to use the terms "device" and "format" regularly when describing hardware and software. It can seem a bit formal, but generally it results in significantly less confusion, and it's not as if the words are jaw-breakers.
