Take a Fresh Whiff on Kindle!

April 12, 2009

If you’ve been holding off for the Kindle version of Whiff! The Revolution of Scent Communication in the Information Age, your wait is over!

Of course, you’ll be missing out on the sweet-smelling jacket which is part of the whole multisensory experience of the hardcover edition, one shortcoming of the brilliant new technology which is apparent in even a non-scented tactile book experience. The number-one complaint about e-books is–you guessed it–the absence of that “real book smell” associated with ink and paper and long musty rows of tall library shelves. It’s a problem widespread enough to inspire products like the aerosol e-book enhancer, Smell of Books.

But, noting the improvements already incorporated into the recently-released Kindle II, the Whiff-Guys are optimistically awaiting the olfactory innovations which might lie ahead when Jeff Bezos turns his ingenious designers at Amazon.com loose on Kindle III!
