Ok I could be wrong here but try some kitty litter in a paper bag and leave for a couple hours and see what happens. I know you can do this with paperback books to remove the musty odor from them.

The best way to remove the smell without damaging the book
(using Febreeze will smudge and warp the pages. Baking soda can damage the print based on the condition of the book).
Here's what I did while working in my local library. You have two options:
1. Place the book in a clear plastic bag. Place a few fabric softener/dryer sheets in the bag along with the book. Place the book in a drawer or on the shelf of a closet. DO NOT place the book in the sun... it fades color and makes the paper brittle. Leave in the drawer for about 24 hours.
2. Place the book in an empty drawer along with, and don't laugh* charcoal briquettes. Yes, like the kind you use to barbeque. Place a paper towel in a corner far away from the book. This is where you place the briquette. Leave for 24 hours.
Believe it or not, charcoal absorbs impurities, such as smoke and other odors. It's even use in water filter systems...
Let me know if you're able to get rid of the smoke smell.

wow....I cant even believe you'll evaluate leaving adverse comments via way the e book smells.... im no longer attempting to be impolite the following yet even a impartial comments is exceedingly harsh. Im particular the e book does scent poor yet when it bothers you that undesirable then you actually must have requested the corporate previously making the acquisition if it became from a smoke loose homestead. If the itemizing reported "smoke loose homestead" then in simple terms contact the corporate and tell them that the itemizing reported smoke loose homestead and that the e book smells very undesirable like cigarette smoke. a minimum of provide the corporate a danger to make issues precise

Put in in a ziploc bag with some loose baking soda and place a few dryer sheets between the pages. Put it in a dry dark place for a few days, and that should do it. If you don't want to put loose baking soda on your book (It does wipe off) the dryer sheets alsone should work, but not as well and they will leave a perfumey smell by themselves.

haha that's funny. I guess that to get the smell out you can turn the pages several times, put it where the air flows more, or put it under the sunlight (sometimes the heat takes away the smell of things). But don't spray deodorizers and stuff over it, it can stain and spoil, of course.
I'm not sure if those things would work lol.

Put it in a brown paper bag with some wadded up newspaper and leave outdoors for a couple days. This should help a lot!
Isn't it disgusting to smell that? UGH

Spray w/Fabreeze or you could use dryer sheets. With the sheets place the book and sheets in a ziploc bag and seal for a couple of hours. It works for me.

Try "Bounce", the anti static for the clothes dryer.
Put a few sheets throughout the pages.
Good for tennys too.

sprinkled between the pages.
