So, you want to call an ebook a "book" to make sure it gets the same amount of respect as the printed version, and you don't care that it makes no sense in the context of other kinds of books (match, check, paint sample,...). Okay, I get where you're coming from, but you are not going to convince me that I'm wrong in sticking to the definition of "book" that makes sense in the context of all those objects that are bound together on one side.
