Musty thinking
No-one ever "opened" an e-book to discover a lovely handwritten dedication like: "To Clare, We hope your results do justice to the effort you have put in for your exams. June 1989. With love from Dad, Mum & Emma XXX."
Nor did they make their way through one and have the pages bloom with the scent of fresh paper, or finely aged, or perhaps a heady combination of cigarettes and French perfume...a dab here, a tiny fall of ash there.
They certainly didn't encounter dog-eared corners, makeshift placeholders from ferry stubs to grocery lists, underlinings, margin notes, the stamps of libraries and secondhand dealers, angry creases or accidental tear stains.
No-one ever opened an e-book.

No one ever found, between the pages of an e-book, a fading and dessicated old photograph of Limahl cut from the pages of Smash Hits that had once been used as a bookmark.
Talk about a never-ending story :-)
