You are of course very welcome to use any word you wish, just as other people are equally entitled to express their objects to it. I just think personally that you're on to a "no hoper"; your chances are getting this word accepted in English are non-existant. There is also the issue of people understanding what you mean. If you say to someone "I have a liseuse", they almost certainly won't have a clue what you mean; say "I have an eBook Reader" and, even if they have never come across the device, they will at least have a reasonable idea of what you're talking about.
