"电子书没有未来，因为它们不是书。电子书闻起来像燃烧的燃料。"
— Ray Bradbury
Simplified Meaning:
The quote suggests that e-books will not last because they don't offer the same experience as traditional printed books. It's like saying that the unique qualities of a printed book—like the texture of the paper and the smell of the ink—cannot be replicated by an electronic device. Imagine you love the feeling of flipping through pages of an old novel, enjoying the scent of the paper. An e-book, on the other hand, is just a screen and can't provide that sensory pleasure. The comparison to burned fuel means that e-books seem unnatural or unpleasant in comparison to real books. If someone values the traditional reading experience, they might stick to printed books because they believe e-books lack the charm and authenticity of the real thing.
