Who has an ebook reader? Page 6

Yeah, f**kers.

Book-sniffers of the world unite and destroy every Kindle (after I have read the Times obviously. And asked my wife it that would be OK. Might have to settle with just shouting nasty names at it).

Hehe.

They don't even seem to make them in different colours. (Although obviously that's just a matter of time.) They all seem to be a dirty dull grey. Blurg.

I don't want one. A single Kindle isn't as likely to impress the girls as my bookshelf full of William Boyd's is.

I'd rather have shelves full of books than a single kindle thing.

Have you got the Simon Pegg book, Matt? I flicked through it today and he barely mentions Big Train. It's all me, me, me.

I have. It's all about him as a kid really, when I only wanted to hear about Spaced and Big Train. :(

He was a kid?

He was also a foot stool for a while. Three chapters about being a foot stool isn't my idea of entertainment.

Definitely.

Maybe Kindle should come with a scent? A sort of scratch n sniff. Either and old book smell or the weird glossy smell from new books.

Cor.
*has a moment*

New electrical items can smell nice too. I love a new fridge before it's had anything in.

Sometimes new mobile phones smell nice.

I used to love the smell of a new C90 or videotape. I'll never know that joy again. :(

I used to love the smell of a new wax cylinder or a 78. I'll never know that joy again. :(
