I don't care much about the smell, but some covers certainly hold a certain appeal for me.
While most book covers are fairly generic, a good cover really adds to the experience, I feel. One example I can think of is fantasy author Joe Abercrombie.
Now, he's a terrific author, and his books are worth a read regardless of medium. But I really, really love the textured, parchmenty cover of his UK published editions. The look great, they feel great. Very unique. Even if paper books were to die out, we would certainly adjust to ebooks and get used to the idea that everything is now digital. We can live without printed books.
But I would miss them.
