1. Epub of a book exists on a computer
2. User takes simple action to read that book on a Kindle device
3. ???
4. User succeeds at reading that same book
When step 3 is basically invisible, "reading an epub on a kindle" seems like a rational way to view things.
Like when Github invisibly renders Markdown into HTML for display in my browser: It seems rational to say that I'm reading a Markdown document.
Or when I print that same HTML onto paper and read it. I'm not reading the HTML nor the Postscript intermediates: I'm still reading a Markdown document.
