I think it's an interesting commentary that one can watch all 52 episodes without being able to say for sure what they use for books --I think the typical fanfic solution is to refer to "book placques" and/or "datacubes." We know from canon that there are Walkman- like objects for playing music.
I've always considered the device we see Cally use in DEATH-WATCH to be the canonical book reader. It's when the others are at the convention and she's alone on Liberator, sitting on the flight deck reading from a device.
The rehearsal script confirms that it was intended to be a book reader: "Cally is relaxing with a book-screen, or whatever seems appropriate to her."
