I guess everyone's different, but it's one of the pro-paperback arguments I've heard that I hadn't really anticipated.
And I will just bet until ereaders came into being all these book sniffers never noticed how a book smelled in their lives!

They just make up anything that comes into their heads to justify not wanting to changing their habits.
