Them:....
I have NEVER, NEVER been reading a book, completely engrossed in the story and the characters and the words, and suddenly stop to caress the page of the book and inhale that book scent. I'm too busy enjoying the story.
I can enjoy going to bookstores and talking with people about good reads and that doesn't mean you can't do that with an e-reader. It's never an either/or decision.

I"m thinking maybe some people really do enjoy the above....of course its a way to get to the next page, but its also a physical act, taking you there.
And yes, some people do like the smell of books....
Let those who enjoy their paper books do so without calling them crazy.
Its not a "them or us" thing......we're all readers all sharing the same experience.
We just see it with different eyes.
