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.
What is wrong is that eBook reader also describes my computer, my laptop, my phone, the television (once Google releases their tv box) and any number of other devices that are capable of reading ebooks. And it's not fun either. That's why I like Liseuse. It's fun, it's just different enough and has enough cultural weight to be applied as a description without being too difficult or clumsy to pronounce.
