I agree, much better -- it's really a meta-commentary, isn't it?

Yeah, I miss the smell of paper, and I miss not being able to pass the book along to someone else after I finish. But I don't miss not having the book with me that I want to read, not having space for it in my carry-on, not being able to read while waiting for the bus, not being able to make notes, etc.

I don't think this is a criticism of the ebooks. It is clearly a poke at those critics that feel nothing can replace paper and ink. The sarcasm tag was clearly missing. :)
