It is even difficult for a Japanese to explain, but 得る is used in several ways. When 得る is used as a verb meaning "to get", it is read える. And when it is used as a auxiliary verb meaning "can or be able to" and used with affirmation context it is read うる. But when it is in a negation, it is read える.
For example しうる, しえない. し is a verb meaning do. し＋うる and し＋えない.
