All right, it's probably best just to let this poll stand as is. It has given some interesting results so far. I didn't expect the spread to be quite so wide with 10 out of 12 options getting two or more votes, and no option has more than 50% so we really do use a variety of terms when distinguishing non-ebooks. I wonder if in the future we'll coalesce firmly around one term like we have with 'ebook' (we almost all use the same word regardless of capitalisation, space or dash).
The top five at the moment seem to be-
1) 'Paper Book'
2) 'Pbook' (regardless of what the 'p' stands for)
3) 'Book' (though some might have voted for this in error)
4) 'Pbook' (specifically short for 'paper book')
5) 'Dead Tree Book'
Even a very diverse top five. Going in I definitely was not expecting 'paper book' to be the leader, and by a good bit too.
