This made me realize how long it's been since I've read manga.

Me too, then I felt a bit sad. I used to love the smell of manga. (Which feels like a weird thing to say, but whatever, apparently others agree. Books DO smell good.)

[a_potato]

It's honestly been so long that I can't remember that it (D:), but! New books in general definitely have a very distinct smell, and it's both nice and oddly calming. It seems to permeate bookstores; I think that's part of why I love them so much.

[elaminator]

IA, and as silly as it sounds that's one reason I still prefer to own an actual book rather than a digital copy. Digital books are so convenient, but I love the smell and feel of books.

[a_potato]

Eh, that doesn't sound silly to me at all. I've also had trouble getting into eBooks, and it's because I'm all about the tactile sensation. I like opening a book, touching its cover, running my finger along its pages. I like the sound that accompanies turning a page. I like the way a book "shrinks" as you near its end.

I feel like reading isn't only about reading; it's about an atmosphere that eBooks just can't capture.

[elaminator]

That's part of the appeal for me as well. No matter how much I like a book, if I try to read it in eBook form it takes forever. I think I miss the actual paper. I also get distracted because...well, internet, and I don't typically do that when I have a book in my hand.
