What is the original code? Is the code from the ebook you bought from the authors website more original than the one from amazon, kobo, kickstarter, HumbleBundle?

If the eBook was made as ePub, I'd call that the original code. None of the eBooks from Amazon are original code unless it's a Mobi made from Kindle Create. KF8 and KFX are conversions.
