I must say I'm shocked.

I thankfully never encountered anything of the sort in Greece. Not even close. Standing in the corner for a while was the worst that ever happened (not on tiptoes), and we usually had fun making faces at the rest of the class. People a little older than me had to endure some slapping, regretfully.
Yes chitatel sounds good too. And I'm still looking for a word in greek. There is the very very informal "diavastiri" (διαβαστήρι), which is fun, but I can't see Sony advertising their new "diavastiri" to be honest (if they ever decide to sell to Greece, that is). They'll stay with ebook reader or some awkward formal greek translation as usually happens in the world of modern technology.
