Really, however you choose to look at it, there are multiple copies involved. You may regard it as a "silly technicality"; I must beg to differ.
Actually, it works like this...

Mother receives a copy in e-mail - that's one additional copy
email program decodes that attachment and saves it to hard disk - still one copy
Mother copies the book to an eBook reader - that's two copies.

So you've overstated things by one copy
