I assure you, I'm not reading a software license. I've read software licenses, and they look considerably different. If it is a license, then what is it a license
for? The book, that's what. The
rights you have may be different for a paper book vs. an e-book, but they are both still books.
Don Quixote is a book.
I read Don Quixote on my Kindle.
Therefore, I read a book.
I didn't read a
codex, but I did read a book.
