Paper.
Ebooks don't have the right smell.
I fully switched to my ereader the last time I moved. I need a book smell candle.
I'm told it's the evaporating lignins in the paper that give it a distinct smell, and the smell is vanilla-adjacent.
I read my Kindle in the bath, and the case has picked up a musty smell It's the worst
Might wanna take it off and check for mold.
I've taken it off. No mold, but I've scrubbed it with hand soap and left it in the sun to dry.
