But that's not how the topic reads. It reads as though you think a pBook is a book and not an eBook. The topic shout have read that you bought a pBook or however. You want to call it. So unless the topic is changed, that how it will be read even if that was not your intention.

Book refers to the content and not the medium. When we use words, we need to make sure we get the meaning correct. When you say you actually bought a book and refer to a pBook, that gets taken as pBook = book.

If someone pointed out my mistake, I would be asking for the topic to be change to match my meaning.
