Now that you mention it, the smell of a new device does always bring me back to the day I got my Apple ][+ in 1981, so you might be on to something there! Just in the other direction in my case. So is
that why I prefer ereaders?!
I did always bury my face in new textbooks in elementary school, so that's a nice category of memory for me...but balancing that out, some old books can get pretty rancid. A lot of moldy used books I scanned to PDF somehow lost all their yuckiness when they went digital.
All in all I'll just enjoy that new-technology smell each time I upgrade devices. Mmmmm...
