Yes, that agrees with the official definition:

cukta     cku      book
x1 is a book containing work x2 by author x3 for audience
x4 preserved in medium x5
[x1 is a manifestation/container [a physical object or its analogue]
of a work/content, not necessarily using paper (= selpapri)];

The older definition (the one I have in my printed version of
the gi'uste) had:

x1 is a book about subject/theme/story x2 by author x3 etc.
[this is a quantity of text, and not the physical
object (= selpapri);

So it used to be the work - theme relationship, but now it is the
object - work relationship. (Unfortunately!)

In any case, it was never about pages.
