Each of us is different. To each of us, a particular theme will carry different associations. By far the best real books I've read in my life have been library books with just such "dirty" pages. Most of the books I'm really interested in are out-of-print -- they simply can't be bought, looking nice and clean. Before the invention of e-books, I spent many fruitless, frustrating years trying to hunt down this or that impossible-to-get book. And when I finally did get it, usually via inter-library loan, and which may have taken a few years for a particular title, the book typically arrived with this "dirty, greasy" look. And I was ecstatic -- it was an occasion to celebrate.
And so, you see, to me, the association I have for a "nice, clean look", is: worthless, trashy book. But if it has a "dirty", smudged-all-over look? Oh boy, that must be some quality literature! 
I now avoid printed books whenever I can. But seeing that "dirty, greasy" look in Moon+ Pro gives me a sense of triumph every time, reminding me of that pleasurable sensation of a long time ago, "The book's finally here and I can read it!"  |
Now see I own
tons of books but they are have nice clean pages. I am very firm on keeping a book clean and don't get me started on spine creases.
I read my books without hurting the spine. Books to me are sooo precious they should be treated like gold so when I see a dirty stained book it makes me upset to think how someone could mistreat a book so. I had so precious little growing up that I think if you own something you should take very good care of there is no excuse for abusing a book. (My two cents)
Here's a pic of my N7 with the theme we are discussing as you can see the colors of the screenshot are not true to the colors of the eye. It looks nothing like the screenshots colors.
