It has carried over to ebooks where unless it is a set of a certain number of ebooks it should be named omnibus.
It's a pet peeve mostly becouse I think of separate books sold as a set when I read 'box set' (such as the Delphi Parts Editions or the Humble, Story & Baen Bundles) not an all in one (e)book.
