There's a specific format called "eReader", which is becoming rarer nowadays - your comments above explain the problem when someone unfortunately uses it as a general term for eBooks! :-)

eBooks are growing, although realistically, only a small proportion of books - although as long as the proportion's large enough that we can get most of the books we want as eBooks, it doesn't really matter. 'eReader' titles are, I believe, harder to find these days though!
