They were not reading the ebook, they were listening to an audio book on an iPod. The problem with calling the device an *ebook* is that it is misleading and ultimately incorrect. I am not saying that the Hannah Montana characters should be used as anything even remotely considered as an intellectual resource, but it does point out the ambiguity of the word.
There is no ambiguity to the meaning of the word "ebook". There *IS* a tendency towards less-than-accurate thinking on Hanna Montana's show - and within her mind, if her various public statements can be taken as proof.
