[Andy or Anne Paradise]

Somewhere I saw that some electronic book reader was sented to make it smell like a book. Smellivision?

I dig the smell of attic in my books. Makes me feel rustic - and asthmatic. However, as Seth Godin was quoted in "The 21st Century Writer" (The Futurist), "books are becoming souvenirs!" I want a Kindle - but I want it cheaply.

If I have to buy batteries for it; if I can't get sand, sea water,sunscreen, barbecue or tartar sauce on it; if it weighs enough that if Igo to sleep reading it it might close my windpipe forever, I don't wantit.
