Amen, bdiver403! There is NOTHING like the smell of a book. Nothing. An e-reader is never going to do it for me, and I'm a techno-junkie. I've pretty much let all my magazines lapse. Too many ads. And most of the patterns out there today are knockoffs of traditional patterns, with just a tweak. Those I have fun trying to re-create in EQ. If I'm successful, great. If not, well, I've probably learned something in EQ. I'd rather save my money for fabric!!!
