"Charm" isn't a word I've ever associated with digging/wandering through stacks of books looking for something to read. I don't get wrapped up in the frou-frou surounding the book experience. I'm in it purely for the content; not the book-petting/perusing. The charm--if any exists--is entirely in the words contained therein, not in the process that gets those words in front of my eyes. I don't care if I'm the first to like a book or the millionth.
I remember haunting bookstores looking for something to read. I had been known to drive up to two hours away to be able to go to a decent bookstore. It was not that I ever enjoyed hunting books to read it was the anticipation of being able to feed my habit by buying books to read. I would much rather be reading than looking for something to read. I hate not having something to read at hand and not knowing what I want to read. I love eBooks for making the whole process so much easier and having an entire library of books with me at all times.
