Talking about a book on MR, sure, trying to claim "book means pbook" is like pushing manure uphill in a shopping trolley. You're going to end up with it all over you.
But outside MR? There are a lot of people that read exclusively paper books. For them the new clauses beneath the still evolving definition of "book", with the ink still wet, has no particular relevance. The original definition still feels quite enough.
