I've pointed this distinction out to you three times now and you seem to just ignore it or make flawed counter-arguments.
In a way, reading a book is making a copy of it in your brain. Currently it is a highly imperfect copy (except for people with photographic memory perhaps). With developments in neuroprosthetics and/or nootropics it could someday become a perfect copy.
