Kindle vs. Real Books: Losing the Smell?
Great commentary on the debate of electronic readers replacing real paper books. The one thing people seem to cite over and over again is the lose of the "Book Smell". With my Nook coming in two weeks I will have to see if I miss this as well. Intellectually I agree with the writer of the essay. Books are vehicles for memories, no matter what form they come in.
