Tuesday, December 04, 2007 The Smell of Books I cant see myself getting an Amazon Kindle. I like sitting on the couch with a book and a cup of tea, thumbing through the pages, smelling the paper and the ink. But Grafton points out some of the more subtle things that are lost when books are digitized.
