Whenever new reading material comes in the house, my husband opens it right to the middle and smells it. I prefer the actual dead tree product, but can certainly understand the appeal of the e-readers for travel and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very sad indeed. :C I'm kind of a "I want to have my cake and eat it too!" idealistic sort of person... I want people who can store and have books to have their books and I want eBooks available for people like me who will have NO space or room for books! But when I move into a house or apartment I want to have books to put on a bookshelf! It's very frustrating! OH, THE HUMANITY! ;~; At least Barnes and Noble jumped on the bandwagon nice and early... Hopefully with their Nook business they can keep all their paper books too. Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
