I thought that ebooks were published? An author submits a manuscript (something) to a publisher (normally) and the publisher does there magic and publishes it in all it forms: pbook, ebook, abook, braille, ...

By your definition a pbook isn't a book, a pbook requires some sort of device to turn the page?
