All your examples could be printed and read as books - whatever form they are consumed in. What differences are you seeking to highlight with these examples?

People don't usually count reading an online piece of writing as equivalent to reading a book, even if the exact same content could also be in book form. Hence if you ask speakers of a language with a lot of available online reading material (English), you may systematically underestimate how much they read long-form content.
