Your opinion of shoehorning is only that, an opinion, and it's not one that I and many others share.

eReader is a word that already has a meaning and trying to fit in a meaning that it doesn't mean is again silly.
What is wrong with eBook reader as the name for our devices? But if anyone has any better ideas other then trying to shoehorn into another word, feel free to say.
