Because:

This entire thread was started on the premise the pBooks are real
The premise is correct, real obviously meaning in this case "physical."

Quote:
meaning that eBooks are not real.
False conclusion, as you are conflating two different meanings of the word "real." Real can mean "true," but it also means "actual" or "physical." The second meaning applies here and the opposite is virtual, as in ebook.

And this is the last word on the subject here. You can PM me if you want to discuss this further, but it would be good for you to drop this particular dead horse in the forums.
