Wrong again. The definition of "intangible" is 1. Incapable of being perceived by the senses.

Which simply is not true of a ebook or a file, it is stored as a set of physical changes on a storage medium which is certainly perceivable or you couldn't read it silly.

It's certainly as tangible as Andromedia or Tau Ceti, as opposed to tatooine.

I love playing word games with you Harry.
