My point was that the term refers to the medium. And I also think "EBook" should perhaps refer to the devices, not the files.

That said, I think ultimately "book" could well be what people call these. Just as the word "calculator" went from referring to various mechanical aids to the modern electronic device we use today. And "computer" from a person skilled at computing information to the thing you're sitting in front of right this moment.
