I love it! Especially the last one! I used to sniff-test any books bought at used sales because I didn't want the musty nasty ones. I've got a stack of 1980s MMPBs I need to scan because they spent too much time in a basement apartment, even inside a sealed container.
Personally, I think one of the improvements of electronic reading devices is the lack of smell. Several of my family members who smoke have asked to borrow p-books and I always declined unless I didn't want the book back. Now, I don't have to be a meanie.
ETA: And my pet peeve is section breaks. Too many e-Books don't have them, so you can't tell when a scene shifts, a character POV changes, or in nonfiction, the subject changes. Drives me batty to re-read two paragraphs that *appear* consecutive, but just needed to be separated in some way to make clear to the reader that there was a change.
