But electronic books don't smell anything. And they don't love you back. And they do not create a soothing atmosphere. And they are not pretty. And they have no texture. And they are not real. They are only the text. Not books.

I agree that they don't smell. I like that.

As for them not being "real". They are as real as your words that you just wrote.


Yes, and they are not books. They are text. Books are ... something more.

Your definition of book and my definition of book will not coincide. Reactionary! :P


True. :|
