If someone asks you how many books you have read over the past year, they probably aren't asking you how many paper books you have read. If you only read e-books, and answered "zero", they would probably assume you don't read. Such an answer only leads to confusion, which indicates that defining a book as a format isn't the best definition.

Gee so reading other peoples thoughts doesn't come naturally to you .....
I read written thoughts, and often in the format of a book or an ebook. (Although right now I've been reading your written thoughts in the format of a post on MR
)
