So for the Sony Reader, it could represent a form of energy between planes (front screen and backplane) from which "characters" are summoned.
The ae sound, like in aether, is pronounced "ee", maybe it's just a neat way to trademark the "e" in eReader (which if you pronounced correctly, would use a short 'e', and sound like "ehReader", so aeReader is actually a more correct spelling for how we pronounce internet things with a leading 'e'.)
