Quite correct, and you indeed see the intent of 'analogue', to cover all
of the non-hard-copy forms that a book may be found in (which form is expressed
by x5).  In this case, the book is a file on a disk, or a display on the screen,
or possibly even the set of wave packets on the modem line - though the actual
trnasfer itself is the x5 medium place of benji.  Note that the book that
you have is a different one than the one John sent - that one is still on]
his computer in NY, yours is a different copy.  But both are the same
