It's not about precise labelling but rather curiosity on what labels people
do use. It's fine if they use any of these but there's a need to be able to somehow distinguish from ebooks.
I think there's a plethora of options because those of us who need to distinguish from ebooks constantly enough to use any of these terms are a small minority of the population (heavy readers who read ebooks, and the publishing industry) and so we haven't settled on one term or meaning yet; instead we seem to come up with more new ones!
