Maybe I’m just too old for certain aspects of this new-fangled technology*, but I don’t get the point in video/trailers about books! It’s all flash and no story! Like buying a book for the cover. Eek.

I hardly ever go to brick-and-mortar bookstores any more, but when I do, I love the smell of the books, the feel of the books, the look of the books…I do not want to have to deal with commercials about books!

*That’s fairly tongue-in-cheek, by the way. I’m the one always pushing ebooks on my reading friends. I show them my eBookwise. I show them my PDA. I tell them to run over to Borders and check out the Sony reader. I love gadgets. But when it comes to the more ADD facets of technology – the MySpace “friend-me” and book trailers and 3D art and flash intros – I just don’t get the appeal.
