I think it's fair clear what he meant, i.e. a lost sale in the context of an ebook would be any time that a customer wanted a specific ebook and didn't buy it, either because it wasn't available, or because that customer obtained the ebook without buying it. While I may not agree with the definition with respect to libraries (who actually do buy licenses for the ebooks), I think it's clear that he's not trying to say that borrowing from a library is the same as pirating.
