<br>
No need for a new word! "A book" (analogue book) is a book is a
book, as it were. As in "would you like <i><em>a book</em></i> or an <i><span style="font-style: italic;">ebook</span></i>?"
It's the format against which the new forms must be distinguished (hence
"ebook" and whatever comes next), not the other way around.<br>
