I am a recovering book collector. I have very few rare editions. I'm more of a Barnes & Noble junkie. However, with the books (and CDs and DVDs) consuming more and more space I'm trying to quit physical media altogether.

I've never really cared about the smell or feel of books in my hand. Oddly, it's the feel of metal that turns me on. The first month I had my car I replaced the shift knob and brake handle with aluminum versions. I love the feel of my iPod Nano and Motorola SLVR. And it goes without saying I love the feel of the Sony Reader. Go figure.
