A Kindle which smells like a book!!

Kindle SA · 11-29-2010, 04:22 PM

I have a great idea which could make enough money to pay everyone on this forum! What if one can desing a Kindle Skin which smells like a newly bought book!

Kindles are awsone.. but similar to that new car smell, you can't beat the smell of a new book!

I want royalties if you put my idea into action!

I think books smell kinda musty. And gather dust. Sorry, I know lots of people say this, but I just don't get it.

It is very easy to make
the smell of new books is principally offset printer ink's odor plus the odor of plant's cellulose in new paper.
The constructor would put those ingredients in warped sealed tiny pills in the kindle like a battery, every time a customer order a new eBook, one of those sealed pill is opened up and heated inside small metallic chamber inside the kindle of course.
that would release all the scent you need, at least during the first pages of the ebook.

Scratch 'n sniff. But it's the old book smell that is best, old books are best.

It's been said many times before on here, but...

My Kindle DOES smell like an expensive leather-bound book. These Oberon covers are so so great.

Book smells are one of the reason I went to ebooks. I have allergies that get triggered, the older the book, the worse they are.
