For me, as in a few other people that I know, Books smell and feel good.

There is nothing like curling up with a good book....and not a piece of electronic equipment.

I don't get the same feeling powering on my eReader as I do opening that book and hearing the pages turn.

I get a sense of accomplishment watching the pages shrink with my book mark, I enjoy the artwork on the covers.

I do like to read e-books, but I really LOVE to read paper books. I do read alot, and half price books is my best friend (I spend about $50 a month there, which is about 10 books a month).

Plus it's much cooler to show off a library than a screen that has "x" amount of books.
