I hope you aren't referring to my tongue-in-cheek post.
"Charm" isn't a word I've ever associated with digging/wandering through stacks of books looking for something to read. I don't get wrapped up in the frou-frou surounding the book experience. I'm in it purely for the content; not the book-petting/perusing. The charm--if any exists--is entirely in the words contained therein, not in the process that gets those words in front of my eyes. I don't care if I'm the first to like a book or the millionth.
