Wilson produced a Kindle and declared dramatically: 'This… is an e-book reader — it is the future of literature!'
'You're too late, dear,' Billi commented laconically, 'It's already been invented!'
W sniffed pointedly and continued, 'It is small, it is convenient, it is practical, and yet still it lacks a certain something. It smells of electronics; it doesn't smell like a book!'
Everyone waited expectantly — even I was impatient to see what came next.
'I have now solved this problem with — Ta-da! The Perfumed BookPatch! It's small, it's self-adhesive and it smells of books! You stick it on the back of your Kindle and Bob's Your Uncle, it's exactly like reading a real book!'
'Can we smell it?' Polly asked.
''Umm. Well, no. Not yet.' W replied. 'This is just a prototype. It doesn't smell of anything yet, but you're welcome to give it a sniff if you like?'
