Here are the first two definitions from DRAE:

1. m. Conjunto de muchas hojas de papel u otro material semejante que, encuadernadas, forman un volumen.
2. m. Obra científica, literaria o de cualquier otra índole con extensión suficiente para formar volumen, que puede aparecer impresa o en otro soporte.

These seem reasonable. The first is a physical definition and includes the medium (paper). The second is a functional definition, which is independent of medium.
