That's a qualifier that's even more negligible than the other one.

I think the argument centers around the question 'what is a usable ebook format?' rather than 'what is an ebook format?' - because the answer to the second one, as you are arguing, is pretty d**n much anything digital that has something you can look at or listen to.

There's a difference between something that *can't* reflow and something that doesn't need to.
