Wiktionary and dictionary.com see 'writeable' as an alternate spelling of 'writable', while merriam-webster.com does not.  Neither of the former say anything about American versus British usage.  I wonder if the first two are rubber-stamping what used to be a misspelling.  Or maybe the unabridged merriam-webster behind a paywall has it as a rare variant (but if so, I would expect mention in the 'writable' entry.  If it is British, it should be changed.  If it is misleading, ditto.
